New Iran Travel Ban for those associated with the IRON, STEEL, ALUMINUM, AND COPPER SECTORS

The new executive order has a lot of restrictions. Amongst them another targetted travel ban that includes Green Card Holders!

"Sec. 5. The unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens determined to meet one or more of the criteria in subsection 1(a) of this order would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and the entry of such persons into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, is therefore hereby suspended." https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Documents/iran_eo_metals.pdf
