Department of Homeland Security officials tell Fox News "additional vetting" procedures already are being implemented at U.S. border crossings, even as the administration’s broader ‘travel ban’ is on hold in the courts.
DHS officials told Fox News the additional vetting entails steps they already have the authority to implement absent an update to the actual statute.
The comments come after the State Department also announced new proposals last week to boost screening of certain visa applicants.
The State Department published a notice in the Federal Register seeking feedback on proposals to have certain applicants provide information including: social media handles, phone numbers and emails for the last five years, prior passport numbers and additional information about their family, past travel and employment.
