US Judge Rules Trump Administration's Green Card Freeze Policy Unlawful
US District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that the Trump administration's policy freezing green card applications from nationals of 75 countries, including India, is unlawful. The policy, introduced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, was found to exceed the authority granted under the Immigration and Nationality Act by limiting consular officers' discretion in visa decisions. The court ordered the State Department to stop applying the policy and to process affected visa applications individually once complete.
