American judge ends visa suspension for 75 countries
A U.S. judge has ruled to overturn the Trump administration's policy that suspended issuing immigration visas to citizens of 75 countries, ruling that the policy exceeded the authority of the Secretary of State and violated federal immigration law. This suspension affected applicants from Latin America, the Balkans, South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean, as it led to the denial of visas on the grounds that they might become a burden on the country and increase reliance on government resources. The ruling was issued in a lawsuit filed by human rights organizations and applicants, asserting that the policy was aimed at restricting immigration, harmed minorities' rights, and created an unsafe environment.
