Judge removes visa ban on 75 nations
A federal judge in the United States has overturned the ban imposed by the Trump administration on issuing immigrant visas from 75 countries, including several Arab countries such as Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, and Syria. The judge ruled that the ban was unlawful and exceeded the authority of the Secretary of State. The ban aimed to prevent the entry of individuals relying on government assistance, but it resulted in halting visa issuance for residents and family members without any exceptions. The ruling includes reconsidering visa denial decisions based on this ban and prohibits discrimination based on nationality when issuing visas, noting that the Trump administration's decision was grounded in previous legal rulings and data. There will still be legitimate visa refusal decisions based on other grounds, and both parties are expected to discuss how to address remaining issues before September 11.
