A federal judge strikes down Trump administration immigration policy affecting 39 countries
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A federal judge in Boston has overturned a Trump administration immigration policy that affected immigrants from 39 countries, making it harder for them to stay in or enter the U.S. U.S. District Chief Judge John McConnell Jr. criticized the policy for putting many immigrants in legal limbo and accused the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) of acting outside its authority. The ruling is seen as a significant victory for immigration advocates, emphasizing that the federal government cannot arbitrarily restrict lawful immigration based on nationality. The policy had barred many from receiving decisions on asylum and other immigration applications.
