Judge Boasberg Temporarily Halts Trump Administration Effort to Deny Visas Over Alleged Censorship

Summary
Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has temporarily halted the Trump administration’s effort to deny visas to individuals it claims worked to perpetuate censorship against Americans. Boasberghanded down a decision earlier this month blocking the State Department from restricting visas for foreign officials and other foreign nationals considered responsible for or complicit in suppressing American free speech. He found that, while the federal government has a "legitimate interest in responding when foreign officials use sovereign power to suppress protected expression in the United States," it is possible that the government is engaging in viewpoint discrimination, and thus violating the First Amendment, through its policy.
