US travel ban list may may change - US official

However, a US official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, cautioned that the list could still change, as it has yet to receive final approval from the administration.

Legit.ng gathers that the policy, which is expected to be reviewed by top officials, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, could mark one of the most extensive travel bans implemented by the Trump administration.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the Trump administration introduced a new app, CBP Home, on Monday, March 10, aimed at enabling immigrants in the United States illegally to "self-deport" rather than face arrest and detention.

This initiative marked a significant step in President Trump's ongoing deportation efforts. The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) app, CBP Home, allows individuals to signal their "intent to depart," according to the agency.

"The CBP Home app gives aliens the option to leave now and self-deport, so they may still have the opportunity to return legally in the future and live the American dream. If they don’t, we will find them, we will deport them, and they will never return," Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated, highlighting the app's purpose.
