Judge cancels visa suspension policy
A U.S. judge has ruled to cancel the policy of the previous Trump administration, which suspended issuing immigration visas to citizens of 75 countries. The judge considered that this policy exceeded the authority of the Secretary of State and violated federal immigration law. She confirmed that the policy, which wholly prohibited the issuance of immigration visas based on nationality, constituted an illegal revocation of the legal framework governing immigration visa procedures. It affected applicants from Latin American countries, the Balkans, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, as the department believed these applicants might pose a burden on American resources.
