Trump administration's 75-country visa ban was illegal, judge rules

A federal judge in New York has invalidated a Trump administration visa policy that affected citizens from 75 countries, including Iran and Afghanistan. The U.S. government had stopped issuing visas to these individuals based on the claim that they were likely to require public assistance. The judge ruled that this specific policy was illegal because it discriminated against individuals on the basis of their nationality, effectively striking down the ban across the affected nations.
