immigration ban
Border closure policy
An immigration ban is a government policy prohibiting entry to people from specified countries or categories.
The term gained prominence with the 2017 U.S. executive order restricting travel from several majority-Muslim nations, often called the Muslim ban by critics.
Immigration bans may be temporary or permanent, targeting specific nationalities, religions, or categories of travelers: The administration defended its immigration ban as a national security measure.
