Obama Administration Begins to Crack on Ebola Travel Ban, Announces Partial Restrictions

Obama Administration Begins to Crack on Ebola Travel Ban, Announces Partial Restrictions: President Barack Obama’s administration is beginning to crack on travel restrictions from Ebola-stricken countries.

While not a full travel ban, the Department of Homeland Security has announced partial travel restrictions that will go into effect Wednesday morning.

“Today, as part of the Department of Homeland Security’s ongoing response to prevent the spread of Ebola to the United States, we are announcing travel restrictions in the form of additional screening and protective measures at our ports of entry for travelers from the three West African Ebola-affected countries,” DHS secretary Jeh Johnson said in a Tuesday morning statement. “These new measures will go into effect tomorrow.”
