Presidential proclamation

What is a presidential proclamation? It is a formal policy statement from the president. Proclamations, like executive orders and memoranda, are official documents published in the Federal Register, the government’s daily record, and are in the public domain.
In short, this proclamation ended the travel bans and visa limits that discriminated against people from multiple countries.
