The countries included in the travel ban are Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Homan emphasized that these nations do not <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >adequately vet visa applicants<\/a>,increasing risks to U.S.safety.<\/p>\n<p>His comments come in light of a recent firebomb attack in Boulder, Colorado, which injured twelve people, linked to an Egyptian national facing hate crime charges. Notably, Egypt is not on the travel ban list, which has raised discussions about the ban being labeled as targeting predominantly Muslim nations. Homan defended the travel ban as a necessary measure and indicated that Trump is taking steps to ensure the safety of Americans amidst ongoing concerns about terrorism and criminal activities linked to foreign nationals.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Travel ban will &lsquo;protect&nbsp;this nation from a terrorist&nbsp;attack&rsquo;: Tom Homan<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2140471\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Border czar <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tom-homan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Tom Homan<\/a> voiced his support for President Donald Trump&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/3432769\/byron-donalds-travel-ban-what-president-supposed-to-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"travel ban\">travel ban<\/a> on 12 countries, which went into effect Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The United States has excluded travelers from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti,&nbsp;Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
