American judge lifts visa suspension for 75 countries
A U.S. judge has canceled the Trump administration's policy that obstructed the issuance of immigration visas to applicants from 75 countries, claiming it exceeded the legal authority of the State Department. Judge Janet Vargas ruled that this policy was illegal and conflicted with federal immigration law, as it strictly prohibited issuing visas based on the applicant's nationality, affecting applicants from Latin America, the Balkans, South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean. The ruling comes after a lawsuit filed by human rights organizations and citizens, asserting that the policy aimed to reduce immigration from certain nationalities, which the court found to be unlawful and a threat to migrants' rights.
