Applaud the Court’s Ruling Blocking Trump’s Visa Denials

 In a critical win for fairness and the rule of law, a federal judge has ruled that the State Department cannot use Donald Trump’s latest travel ban to deny visas to eligible immigrants.

Judge Sparkle Sooknanan found that the administration’s sweeping order—aimed at citizens of 19 countries—goes far beyond what the law allows. The ruling makes clear: the president cannot unilaterally strip people of their right to apply for visas simply by issuing a proclamation.

This decision is especially important for families from countries like Afghanistan, Burma, Somalia, Togo, and Iran, who have long faced discriminatory barriers under Trump’s repeated travel bans. While the administration may still try to block entry at the border, the court’s ruling ensures that Trump cannot slam the door shut at the visa stage.
