The term spiked following a leaked draft of an executive order titled 'Securing the Border and Restoring Integrity to the Immigration System.' The report suggests that the incoming administration plans to pause visa processing for 75 countries on Day One (January 20, 2026) until 'extreme vetting' measures are implemented, causing panic among those with pending visa applications.
Immigration advocates have denounced the plan as a 'wholesale ban' that will separate families and hurt the U.S. economy. Supporters of the move argue it is a vital national security measure to ensure that countries sharing data with the U.S. meet modern anti-terrorism and identification standards.
