Washington: The Trump administration’s decision to suspend
work on immigrant visas for 75 countries, including Pakistan, has been
challenged.
Civil rights organizations have filed a lawsuit in a New
York court, saying that US President Trump’s policy is damaging the foundation
of immigration, and a court order has been requested to stop the visa policy.
The lawsuit argues that the decision to suspend work on
immigrant visas is unconstitutional, discriminatory and contrary to human
rights, which is affecting thousands of families. Civil rights organizations
have requested the court to issue an immediate court order to stop the
implementation of the visa policy.
The petitioners claimed that this move is not only affecting the legal immigration process but is also against America’s historical immigration policies and international obligations. The case is expected to be heard in court soon.
