The U.S. government on May 22, 2026, extended its Ebola-related Title 42 travel ban to lawful permanent residents who recently visited the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan, marking an unprecedented use of public health authority to block green card holders from re-entering the country. The policy, issued amid a Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak that has reached 744 suspected cases and 177 deaths in DRC, has drawn sharp criticism from the WHO, Africa CDC, epidemiologists, and immigration lawyers who argue it is epidemiologically unsound, legally dubious, and disproportionately harmful to African diaspora communities.
