The Trump administration is expected to expand its travel ban to include around 30 countries, a bid to more aggressively curtail migration to the US following last week’s shooting of two National Guard members in Washington.

A list of the countries being added to the ban is expected to come soon, according to a Department of Homeland Security official. The administration already has in place a full block on travelers from 12 countries, with partial restrictions on seven others.
