In a move that could reignite one of the most controversial policies of his presidency, President Donald Trump is considering a sweeping new travel ban that would block or severely restrict entry into the United States for citizens from as many as 41 countries.

The proposed ban, which would be broader than the travel restrictions implemented during Trump’s first term, is currently under review by top diplomatic and security officials, according to sources familiar with the matter quote.

The draft proposal divides the countries into three categories: a “red” list, whose citizens would be completely barred from entry; an “orange” list, which would impose selective restrictions, particularly on non-business travellers; and a “yellow” list of nations given a 60-day deadline to address security deficiencies or risk being placed on a more restrictive list.

A new ‘red’ list
At the core of the proposed plan is a “red” list of 11 countries whose citizens would be outright banned from entering the United States. According to officials, this list includes Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.

The list would be a stark extension of Trump’s earlier efforts to block entry from predominantly Muslim nations, as seen in the travel ban he imposed during his first term.

The final version of the list remains under discussion, as officials from the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, and other intelligence agencies review the recommendations.

More targetted restrictions

In addition to the total bans, the proposal outlines an “orange” list of 10 countries for which travel would be restricted but not completely cut off. Citizens of these nations — Belarus, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Turkmenistan — would face stricter vetting procedures and mandatory in-person visa interviews.

Affluent business travellers from these nations might still be permitted to enter, but immigrant and tourist visa holders would be subject to stringent scrutiny.

Notably, the inclusion of Russia on the “orange” list raises questions about Trump’s broader foreign policy stance. Throughout his presidency, Trump sought to improve relations with Russia, often to the dismay of critics who pointed to Moscow’s human rights abuses and interference in US elections. The proposed restrictions could signal a shift or a new attempt to balance public opinion with security concerns.

A ‘yellow’ warning

The draft proposal also includes a “yellow” list of 22 countries given 60 days to address perceived security deficiencies in order to avoid restrictions. These countries — largely in Africa and the Caribbean — include Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Dominica, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, São Tomé and Príncipe, Vanuatu, and Zimbabwe.

The Trump administration has cited concerns that these nations fail to adequately share information about travellers with the US or have lax security practices when issuing passports, which could allow individuals from banned countries to exploit loopholes. The yellow list offers these countries a narrow window to cooperate with US authorities or risk being placed on a more restrictive list.

The proposed travel ban marks a return to one of Trump’s signature policies. In his first term, Trump issued a travel ban that initially targeted seven predominantly Muslim nations. The ban sparked legal battles and protests across the US, and federal courts blocked its early versions. However, a revised version of the ban was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018, allowing the administration to restrict entry from eight nations, six of which were Muslim-majority.

Soon after taking office, President Joe Biden revoked the travel bans, describing them as discriminatory and inconsistent with American values. “They are a stain on our national conscience,” Biden had said at the time.

But with Trump back in the White House, a return to the travel ban is being framed as essential to protecting US citizens from security threats. In an executive order signed in January, Trump instructed the State Department to develop a list of countries whose “vetting and screening information is so deficient as to warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission of nationals.” The draft report is expected to reach the White House in the coming days.

US Vice President JD Vance has said that green card holders in the United States do not have an indefinite right to stay in the country and can be deported at the administration’s discretion.

His remarks amid US President Donald Trump’s push for the ‘Trump Gold Card’, a new investor visa programme allowing foreigners to gain US citizenship by investing $5 million in the country.

Commenting on the possible deportation of a Columbia University student over his pro-Palestinian activism, Vance said that the decision is ultimately about whom the American public wants to include in the national community.

“For a green card holder, even if I might like that green card holder, he does not have an indefinite right to be in the United States of America,” the Vice President said in an interview with Fox News.

A green card grants lawful permanent residence and allows holders to live and work permanently in the US as long as they do not commit any actions that would violate immigration law.

“I don’t know how you could hear my story and my testimony and not believe that there is a God.”

That’s how Cameron Cortman describes his miraculous, death-defying journey — a remarkable voyage of trust, survival, and true reliance in the face of life-altering storms.

Cortman, 24, said his family’s harrowing experience began when he was a 1-year-old and his parents were preparing to move to Virginia Beach, Virginia.

But on the day of their move, something happened that would change the course of their lives.

“I got sick with an ear infection in the hustle and bustle of moving,” he told CBN News. “My mom took me to the doctor. She thought it was just a routine ear infection. I had been getting them a lot lately.”

But Cortman’s mom felt deep in her gut that something else was going on. In fact, after the doctor prescribed antibiotics, she paused to share something she experienced on the way to his office.

“[She said], ‘Actually, on the way over here, the Lord spoke to me and told me that something is seriously wrong and that we need to go to the hospital,’ which is just a wild thing to say to a doctor,” Cortman recounted. “But, thankfully … the doctor was a Christian and he said, ‘Who am I to really argue with the Lord? So we can send you to the hospital.’”

Despite the doctor feeling relatively unconcerned at the time, he knew Cortman’s mother was resolute that she had heard from God. So he complied and called an ambulance — a fortunate choice considering what happened next.

“They start to run pretty much every test imaginable, and they come back a few hours later and say, ‘We’re so sorry, 95% of your son’s blood cells are leukemia. He probably won’t make it through the night,’” Cortman said.

The shocking news, which upended the family’s lives, confirmed everything his mother had felt.

“As you can imagine, it’s just a mix of utter disbelief, and shock, and starting to grieve, and really just confusion of what to do,” Cortman said. “And I think you kind of immediately go into a mode of, ‘OK, let’s figure out next steps.’”

Cortman began intense chemotherapy, which carried its own risks for such a young child.

And the family began pressing into the community around them, with Cortman expressing how “blessed” they were to have loving people around to help care for both him and his brother.

Leaning into God and prayer, though, were the main recipes for tackling the chaos.

“They just really sought to … understand from the Lord how they could be faithful through the journey,” Cortman said.

These tools were essential as Cortman faced four years of hospital stays, chemotherapy, and other interventions. Along the way, the uncertainty required a profound reliance on the Almighty.

“It was one of those situations where, ‘OK, I lived a week,’ then they’re like, ‘Let’s see how long he can live,’ basically, which is crazy to say,” Cortman said. “I can’t even imagine being my parents and just never really knowing if I was going to make it the next day, or the next month, or the next year.”

Remarkably, the cancer eventually disappeared, something Cortman said was “miraculous.” And that’s not all.

“What’s crazy about that situation — other than the fact that I was completely cured from cancer — is they said to my parents, ‘Although he is cancer free, he’s not out of the woods. So there is a very good chance that he’s not able to speak like everyone else would. He might not be able to walk. He might not be able to talk,’” Cortman said, noting these dire effects could have come from the chemotherapy.

He continued, “The chances of it having serious side effects on your brain, on your body is very high. So to go from that to where I am today … a former college athlete [who] had the opportunity to play sports at the highest level, it’s just only God.”

Cortman, who is now the director of digital marketing at Great American Media, a company that produces faith and family-friendly programming, said the entire experience has made him intensely driven and devoted in all he does.

His focus today is spreading the Gospel and working to advance the Christian faith, helping brands like Great American Family and Great American Pure Flix create and market positive, faith-affirming content.

“What I love about my role at Great American is I can wake up every day and know that … the social media posts that my team is creating or the ads that we’re making, we’re really pushing out good into society in a culture of entertainment that is doing the exact opposite,” Cortman said. “So, I do feel like we are a light in the entertainment industry and it’s so cool to be able to use what I’m passionate about and creative about in marketing while also still glorifying the Lord.”

He praised his company for giving families, individuals, and parents a safe experience watching TV and movies — something he called truly “unique.”

“We are telling these really impactful faith redemption stories that I think just really inspire and uplift people, and they’re extremely relatable to journeys that everyone has gone through,” Cortman said.

Connecting the dots between his own medical miracle, God’s plan for his life, and an undying trust, Cortman’s journey to Great American Media is a fascinating one. But his faith is truly driving it all — a deeply fostered and abiding love rooted in his family’s journey.

Reflecting back on the experience, Cortman said he can’t imagine what it was like for his parents to grapple with potentially losing their baby at any moment.

The ordeal moved him closer to his Christian faith and shaped his beliefs, with his parents providing a powerful example for him to follow.

“So much of my faith … I credit to them because I think most people in situations like that, it’s very easy for them to turn against God, turn against each other,” he said. “The fact that they relied on God through that and then came out on the other side stronger … their marriage is still very strong and that their faith is still very strong — I don’t think that I would have the same faith that I have today had they not responded the way they did through that whole journey.”
