New travel restrictions
The Department of Homeland Security announced new restrictions on short-term visitors to the U.S. from Japan and Western Europe. The new rules require visitors to register with federal authorities at least three days before traveling to the U.S. They also must supply the same personal information that travelers currently provide when they board international flights headed for the U.S. “We’re not asking for new information,” one official said. “We’re just getting it earlier.”
