U.S. judge blocks visa suspension for 75 nations
A Manhattan court in New York State has ruled to invalidate the Trump administration's policy that suspended visa issuance for applicants from 75 countries, citing that it exceeded the legal authority granted to the Secretary of State. The court confirmed that the decision was unlawful because it relied on a visa ban based on the applicant's nationality, which violates federal immigration law. These countries include Brazil, Colombia, Uganda, Pakistan, Bangladesh, as well as nations in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. The ruling was a legal complaint filed by the Catholic Immigration and Human Rights Network, which argued that the policy raised concerns of racial discrimination and human rights violations.
