Trump Administration Expands Ebola Travel Restrictions to Green Card Holders
May 27, 2026
The Trump administration updated its travel restrictions amid the Ebola outbreak to temporarily include the entry of lawful permanent residents who have been in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda and South Sudan in the past 21 days.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which oversees the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), issued this advisory on Friday, updating its previous 30-day restriction on foreign individuals traveling from these countries to include green card holders. U.S. nationals and green card residents were previously exempt.
