Fact Check: "Esto es verdad? Este comunicado dice que a partir de julio no podrá salir nadie de los EU y si estás afuera no podrás regresar!🥴"
What We Know
The claim suggests that starting in July, no one will be able to leave the United States, and those who are outside will not be able to return. This assertion lacks any basis in current U.S. immigration policy or travel regulations. According to the U.S. Department of State, citizens can still travel abroad and return, provided they comply with existing visa and entry requirements. The U.S. government has not issued any blanket restrictions preventing citizens from leaving or returning to the country.
Additionally, the STEP program (Smart Traveler Enrollment Program) allows U.S. citizens traveling abroad to register their trips, ensuring they receive important safety information and can be contacted in emergencies. This program indicates that travel is still permitted and that citizens can return to the U.S. after traveling.
Analysis
The claim appears to be a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of U.S. travel policies. There are no current proclamations or regulations that support the idea of a complete travel ban for U.S. citizens. The proclamation issued by the U.S. government primarily targets foreign nationals from specific countries due to security concerns, not U.S. citizens.
Moreover, the I-94 form is used to track the entry and exit of non-citizens, but it does not imply that U.S. citizens are restricted from traveling or returning to the U.S.
The sources referenced are credible, with the first being an official U.S. government website, which typically provides accurate and up-to-date information regarding travel and safety alerts. The second source, detailing the restrictions on foreign nationals, is also from a government site, ensuring its reliability.
Conclusion
Verdict: False
The claim that starting in July, no one will be able to leave the United States and that those outside cannot return is unfounded. Current U.S. policies allow citizens to travel abroad and return, as long as they meet the necessary requirements. There are no new regulations that would impose such a travel ban on U.S. citizens.
