Trump's blanket nationality-based visa ban was flatly illegal — it violated the Immigration and Nationality Act's prohibition on nationality-based discrimination and exceeded the Secretary of State's authority. The court rightly struck it down and ordered case-by-case visa reviews to resume, reuniting families who were legally navigating the immigration process. No administration gets to blacklist entire countries and call it policy.
A Biden-appointed judge just unilaterally overturned a commonsense pause on visas from 75 high-welfare-risk countries, ignoring the clear mandate voters gave Trump to stop public-charge abuse and chain migration. One district court shouldn't have the power to nullify immigration enforcement that protects American taxpayers. Rogue lower courts need to be reined in before judicial activism completely guts border security.
