US judge blocks Trump visa ban for 75 nations
A U.S. federal judge has overturned a government decision that banned issuing visas to citizens from 75 countries who wish to settle permanently in the United States. The judge ruled that Secretary Marco Rubio exceeded his legal authority in issuing this decision. She confirmed that consular officials were only subject to the decision of the applicant's home country, despite meeting the requirements, which led to a suspension of immigration visa applications from those countries since January. These countries include Afghanistan, Brazil, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, and Thailand. The ruling represents a setback for the Trump administration's immigration policies, and the government may appeal it.
