Judge Blocks Trump’s Global Visa Ban | Fayetteville Arkansas News

A federal judge has just overturned Trump’s sweeping visa ban targeting 75 countries, calling it unlawful and beyond the Secretary of State’s authority. The policy, which claimed to protect U.S. resources by blocking immigrants from specific nations — including Egypt, Afghanistan, Iran, and Brazil — was struck down because consular officers must evaluate each applicant individually, not deny visas based on nationality alone. This ruling is a major victory for immigration advocates, reinforcing that immigration law shouldn’t be weaponized for discrimination. It’s the latest blow to the administration’s efforts to restrict immigration, following another recent court win blocking a similar ban affecting 39 countries.
