This is what happens under Trump's administration, chaos & Americans at risk.
CHICAGO — The travel ban in the United States has caused massive lines Saturday at O’Hare airport.
Multiple passengers flying back internationally have shared photos with WGN showing massive crowds of people waiting to be screened through U.S. customs.
The European travel ban went into effect at midnight on Friday.
Passengers told WGN they were in line for almost four hours. People who got off flights had to wait for enhanced screening which including getting their temperatures taken, being asked where they flew from and more.
Passengers and family are concerned that waiting in the large crowds has exposed them to COVID-19.
“This thought crossed my mind that him being in that crowd might increase the chance of contamination,” mother Elena Gabor said.
President Trump announced Saturday that the United States will broaden its European travel ban, adding the United Kingdom and Ireland to its list, and was considering imposing restrictions on travel within the U.S. to areas hit hard by the COVID-19 spread.
Under the restrictions on European travel, American citizens, green card holders and others are still allowed to return home to the U.S., but will be funneled to 13 airports and be subjected to health screenings and quarantine orders.
After witnessing the lines at O’Hare, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker scolded the Trump administration on Facebook.
“President Donald J. Trump Vice President Mike Pence since this is the only communication medium you pay attention to – you need to do something NOW,” he said.
