In multiple congressional testimonies last year, then-Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson hyped the action he was taking--under a law signed by President Barack Obama--to deny visa-free travel to the United States to citizens of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries who had visited Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Somalia or Libya.

“Foreign terrorist travel, the prospect of foreign terrorist travel to our homeland keeps me up at night,” Johnson, for example, testified in the House Homeland Security Committee on July 14, 2014.

“We have enhanced security around our Visa Waiver Program,” Johnson said.
