A federal court in New York has overturned the US Department of State's directive restricting the issuance of immigration visas to citizens of 75 countries. According to Reuters, the ruling follows legal challenges brought by human rights advocacy groups and visa applicants.

Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled that Secretary of State Marco Rubio exceeded his statutory authority, emphasizing that denying visas solely based on nationality violates legal standards. The court decision presents a major legal setback for the Trump administration's tightened immigration policies.
