Court invalidates Trump administration's visa suspension for 75 nations

U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled that the administration's pause on immigrant visas from 75 countries is unlawful and exceeds Secretary of State Marco Rubio's authority. The judge cited the Immigration and Nationality Act, which requires individualized assessments and prohibits nationality-based decisions. The ruling affects nearly 40% of the world's countries, including Egypt, Afghanistan, and Iran.
