US judge strikes down Trump's 75-country visa ban

A federal judge in Manhattan ruled Friday that the Trump administration's suspension of immigrant visas for applicants from 75 countries is 'patently unlawful' and exceeds Secretary of State Marco Rubio's authority. The policy, effective January, affected nations including Brazil, Pakistan, and many African countries. The ruling came in a lawsuit by immigrant rights groups.
