Trump Administration Sued Over Ban on Immigration From 75 Countries
A group of American citizens, immigration nonprofits and legal organizations on Monday sued Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the State Department, asking a judge to block a visa ban that they said attempted to “eviscerate decades of settled immigration law.”
The suit, filed in Manhattan federal court, is the first major attempt to stop the State Department policy announced and implemented last month that suspended the approval of visas for people from 75 countries. More than 85 percent of the countries are non-European and have significant nonwhite populations.
The State Department said in a social media post last month that the policy, which it has characterized as a pause, was necessary to prevent migration of those who “take welfare from the American people at unacceptable rates.”
It added that immigrants from the countries in question “often become public charges,” meaning that they become reliant on the government for subsistence.
