Judge overturns Trump's visa ban
A U.S. federal judge has overturned the Trump administration's decision to restrict visa issuance for immigrants from 75 countries, claiming it was illegal and exceeded the authority of the Secretary of State. The department had halted issuing visas to citizens of countries including Brazil, Egypt, Russia, and Somalia, aiming to reduce entries of individuals relying on public assistance. However, the judge confirmed that this policy was discriminatory and conflicted with American laws that prohibit discrimination based on nationality. She also noted that the decision resulted in the suspension of permanent residence visas for families and individuals working in the United States, and that the government plans to appeal the ruling.
