Out of the 39, Nigeria is also the country most heavily impacted by the ban on non-immigrant visas. Excluding the COVID years, from FY 2015 to 2024 an average of 128,000 Nigerians were granted nonimmigrant visas each year. These were primarily tourist and student visas, which are now barred.

NEW: President Trump is expanding the previous 19-country travel ban to a whopping 39 countries (plus the Palestinian Authority), and appears to expand a block on legal immigration to now include spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens, who were previously exempted.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
