Court invalidates Trump's visa ban on 75 countries
A U.S. federal judge has overturned a government decision that banned visa issuance to citizens from 75 countries seeking permanent residence in the United States, considering that the decision violates the law and that the Secretary of State exceeded his authority when issuing it. The ruling, which took effect in January, had led to a suspension of immigration visa applications from countries such as Afghanistan, Brazil, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, and Yemen, aiming to limit the use of social welfare programs and financial drain. The court confirmed that the visa refusals were based solely on the applicant's country of origin, despite meeting all the requirements, and noted that the government may appeal the ruling to the court.
