The White House counsel's office has been using lessons learned from court battles over Trump's travel bans and immigration crackdowns to impose new travel restrictions aimed at containing the spread of coronavirus, according to an administration official.
And with no end in sight to the current crisis, it remains to be seen how long the sweeping restrictions will stay in place.Not since the September 11, 2001, attacks has the executive branch sought such broad actions to stem the flow of people into the country.
"Two other authorities the White House counsel's office has leaned heavily into for recent measures at the northern and southern border are a part of US public health service law that allows the suspension of entries and imports from designated places to prevent spread of communicable diseases and a part of the Tariff Act of 1930 that states a port of entry can be closed in times of crisis.
