According to The Guardian, foreigners who were affected by Donald Trump’s travel ban back in January will receive help from the US government to reapply for visas.
The decision came as a result of a lawsuit brought against the Trump administration by civil rights lawyers.

The government hasn’t disclosed the total number of people this applies to, so the amount of people who will benefit from this settlement is unknown.
