# Trump Administration Bars Americans in Congo From Returning Home
The Trump administration has placed Americans currently in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on a "do-not-board" list, effectively barring their return to the United States. The action was announced Monday amid an ongoing Ebola outbreak in the country that has continued to outpace containment and response efforts.
The measure prevents US citizens in the DRC, as well as those who have recently traveled to areas affected by the Ebola outbreak, from boarding flights back to America. This represents a significant travel restriction targeting both citizens abroad and recent travelers from the affected regions.
The decision reflects heightened concern over the spread of the virus and comes as the outbreak has proven difficult to control. The specific scope of who qualifies as a "recent" traveler and the duration of the restriction remain part of the policy framework implemented by the administration.
