US Judge Invalidates Trump Administration's Immigrant Visa Suspension for 75 Countries
A U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas struck down a Trump administration policy that suspended immigrant visas for applicants from 75 countries, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Brazil, and Colombia. The judge ruled the January policy exceeded Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statutory authority and violated federal immigration law by categorically prohibiting visas based on nationality. The suspension was challenged by immigrant rights groups and visa applicants. The State Department cited concerns about applicants becoming public charges but has not commented on the ruling.
