Trump admin to block Ebola-exposed Americans from US, move them to Kenya
The Trump administration announced a travel ban barring U.S. lawful permanent residents and non-citizens who have recently traveled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan amid an escalating Ebola outbreak. The WHO reports over 1,000 cases and 234 deaths in the DRC, but the numbers are considered undercounts. Uganda and South Sudan have reported minimal cases, raising questions about the ban's rationale.
