US federal judges overturn visa and deportation policies
U.S. federal courts have issued significant rulings regarding immigration and visa policies. In San Jose, Judge Noel Wise ruled that the administration’s use of immigration laws to cancel visas and initiate deportation proceedings against noncitizen college students for pro-Palestinian advocacy is unconstitutional. The ruling criticized the State Department and Department of Homeland Security for using federal law to target individuals for expressing views the government sought to suppress.
In a separate case, U.S. District Judge Edward J. Davila issued a preliminary injunction in California to temporarily vacate three policies that halted Diversity Visa processing and immigrant-visa approvals for nationals of 75 countries. The court ordered immigration authorities to resume ordinary adjudication of affected applications and directed the State Department to reconsider applications that were refused solely due to the suspended policies.
