Judge Strikes Down 75-Country Visa Ban | Jamaica News
Description
A federal judge just struck down a controversial ban that blocked immigrant visas for citizens from 75 countries, calling it “contrary to law” and accusing the Secretary of State of overstepping authority. The policy, aimed at preventing immigrants from “high-risk” nations from becoming a “public charge,” was rejected because consular officers were wrongly instructed to deny visas based solely on country of origin — even if applicants were otherwise qualified. The ruling nullifies all visa denials made under this ban, though the government can appeal. This decision comes amid broader immigration enforcement efforts focused on speeding deportations and tightening entry controls.
