A federal judge strikes down Trump administration immigration policy affecting 39 countries
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A federal judge in Boston has invalidated a Trump administration immigration policy that affected immigrants from 39 countries, making it harder for them to enter or remain in the U.S. The ruling by U.S. District Chief Judge John McConnell Jr. criticized the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for acting outside its legal authority and failing to provide necessary explanations for its decisions. The policy, enacted after a shooting involving National Guard members, barred immigrants from receiving final decisions on asylum, work permits, and citizenship applications. Immigration advocates hailed the decision as a crucial win for lawful immigration pathways.
