Axios Security Group Issues Travel Advisory and Safety Recommendations Amid Expansion of U.S. Travel Ban

 Washington, D.C. – As President Donald Trump signals plans to add up to 36 additional countries to the controversial U.S. travel ban, Axios Security Group is urging heightened vigilance for travelers, businesses, and at-risk communities impacted by the executive order.

The reinstated and expanded travel ban—originally introduced during Trump’s first term has reignited national and global debate. While the Trump administration defends the move as a measure to “protect national security,” critics, foreign governments, and humanitarian organizations have condemned it as discriminatory, with far-reaching consequences on families, education, commerce, and international diplomacy.

Trump, citing recent riots following ICE raids in Los Angeles and an attack on a pro-Israel rally in Colorado, stated:

“We will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm… We cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen those who seek to enter the United States.”

Countries Currently on the Ban List

The confirmed travel ban includes the following nations:
Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen

Countries with U.S. travel restrictions:
Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela

National Security and Legal Implications

Legal experts say this expanded ban has been “crafted with more legal precision” than the 2017 version, which was challenged in court and accused of targeting Muslim-majority countries. Still, the global response has been strong.

“This policy will hurt families, workers, and refugees,” said immigration attorney Mariam Masumi. “We are closing our doors, and it’s very unfortunate that this has become normalized.”

Some countries, like Chad, have begun retaliating by halting visas for U.S. citizens, calling the policy "an insult to dignity and sovereignty."

Axios Security Group Recommendations

In response to the travel ban and the rise in unrest associated with immigration enforcement, Axios Security Group recommends the following actions:

1. Pre-Travel OSINT Risk Assessments – Identify threat actors, protest zones, or social instability in affected regions.

2. Emergency Evacuation Planning – Develop a family or organizational plan for rapid departure if unrest or detainment risks escalate.

3. Corporate Contingency Strategy – Multinational companies should audit employee visa statuses, cross-border operations, and local compliance.

4. Digital Identity Protection – Reduce social media exposure and review travel footprints for those from affected regions.

5. Executive & Family Protection Services – Utilize trained security personnel for high-risk travel, including U.S. cities affected by riots and protests.

6. Legal Coordination – For travelers with pending visa applications or family separations, consult with immigration counsel immediately.

“With tensions rising at home and abroad, situational awareness and proactive threat planning are not optional they are essential,” said Jereme Dozier, CEO of Axios Security Group. “We are working with both private clients and institutions to assess risk, ensure safety, and protect freedom of movement in this volatile environment.”
