US EditionTrump's travel ban leaves college students in limbo
- On 2/2/26, a group of U.S. citizens and immigrant rights groups filed a complaint in the Southern District of New York challenging the U.S. Department of State's suspension of immigrant visa processing for 75 countries.
- On Jan. 21 the U.S. Department of State began a pause on processing immigrant visas to review policy and prevent new immigrants from `extract wealth from the American people`.
- Among the affected nationals are people from Afghanistan, Brazil, Colombia, Nigeria, Iran, Somalia and others; a Colombian physician approved for the `Einstein Visa` in January 2025 learned last week he became ineligible, while non-immigrant visas remain exempt.
- The complaint contends the policy breaches the Administrative Procedure Act, Immigration and Nationality Act and equal protection, arguing it unlawfully blocks U.S. citizens petitioners seeking family unification.
- Efr�n Olivares says the State Department failed to follow procedures, citing a study published last week by the Cato Institute, which found immigrants used `about 24 percent less` welfare.
