US court strikes down 75-country visa ban

A federal judge in Manhattan struck down the Trump administration's policy suspending immigrant visa processing for applicants from 75 countries, ruling it 'patently unlawful.' The judge said the policy, announced in January, went beyond Secretary of State Marco Rubio's legal authority.

The ruling affects applicants from countries including Pakistan, India, and several African and Asian nations.

The decision is a significant legal setback for the administration's immigration agenda.
