Trump’s brand of racism took a whole new turn as he expanded the visa ban to nations comprised of people of color.

Uh oh—Donald Trump’s brand of fascism and racism may have taken a whole new turn.

His administration is now expanding the U.S. visa ban, and Nigeria—along with other countries predominantly made up of people of color—has landed at the top of the watchlist.

According to a new report circulating from The Washington Post, President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are now warning that Nigeria and several other nations currently labeled “yellow” could soon be bumped to the “red list”—a designation that triggers a full travel ban.

What’s unclear is how and why these countries were placed in the “yellow” category to begin with. Many critics argue the classifications lack transparency and disproportionately target African and Caribbean nations.

The expanded watchlist now includes 36 countries, with 25 of them located in Africa, and many others representing regions with majority Black or brown populations.

So what is the U.S. demanding?

Countries have been given 60 days to meet new U.S. immigration and security requirements, which reportedly include:

Submitting verifiable identity and civil records (e.g., passports, birth certificates)

Reducing visa overstay rates

Cooperating with U.S. deportation proceedings

Eliminating or regulating citizenship-for-investment schemes

Cracking down on corruption and document fraud

Failure to comply could move countries from “yellow” to “red,” leading to visa bans, travel restrictions, or diplomatic consequences.

It is worth noting that many of these requirements are already being met.

No one from Africa can travel to the U.S. without a visa—meaning those categories of travelers have already been vetted and approved by U.S. embassies.

On banning visas due to corruption: Immigration lawyers are pushing back, arguing that punishing citizens—who’ve already been granted visas—based on the corruption of their governments is not only unrealistic, but counterproductive.

After all, no single citizen can be held responsible for curbing systemic corruption in their country.

It’s also worth noting that many of the 36 countries now facing potential bans have some of the lowest crime rates among immigrant populations in the U.S., according to Bureau of Prisons statistics.

And when it comes to deportations, several of these governments—Nigeria included—have historically sent planes to retrieve their nationals, fully cooperating with U.S. authorities.

No African government has ever refused to accept its own citizens.

Which is exactly why so many on social media are calling this policy nothing more than a new level of racist, fascist, and hate-driven immigration policy.

As for how Secretary Rubio and Donald Trump came up with this list? That rationale remains unclear. But one thing is certain: the backlash is growing—and growing fast.
