Proclamation extends restrictions on immigration from certain countries.

Proclamation 9645 extended immigration restrictions on countries deemed deficient in information sharing about potential terrorists, following a pattern established by previous related orders. Issued under Donald Trump's administration, its primary goal was to enhance national security by limiting entry from specific nations identified as non-compliant with security protocols. This action built on earlier measures, including Executive Order 13780, which faced substantial legal challenges and public scrutiny. The Proclamation targeted specific countries, including Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen, expanding the scope beyond previous orders. Chad was later removed from the list after meeting the required information-sharing standards. The affected nations were selected based on an evaluation of their security vetting and information-sharing capabilities, particularly concerning terrorism-related data. Legal challenges ensued, reflecting the contentious nature of the policy.
