Judge Strikes Down Trump Visa Ban | Jamaica News
Description
A federal judge in New York has struck down a Trump-era visa ban targeting 75 countries, including Jamaica, Afghanistan, and Russia, ruling it unconstitutional and an overreach of executive power. The policy, which aimed to prevent immigrants from becoming public burdens, was challenged by nonprofits and individuals affected by visa denials. The court sided with those arguing that Congress granted consular officers—not bureaucrats—the authority to decide visas. This decision continues a trend of judicial resistance to restrictive immigration policies from the previous administration.
