President Biden Ends Travel Ban, Bringing Hope To Separated Families

President Joe Biden repealed travel and immigration restrictions for citizens of 13 primarily Muslim and African countries, reversing a key Trump policy. This move aims to restore humanity to the immigration system. Families affected by the travel ban, like Iranian immigrant Fatima Alamdari, express relief but also concern about the speed of reunification. Alamdari's husband's visa application remains in limbo due to previous restrictions. Advocates urge further action beyond the executive order. Immigration hardliners worry about security implications, while the Biden administration plans to enhance information sharing and address the ban's harms.
