The U.S. Supreme Court in New York has ruled to lift a temporary ban on issuing visas to residents of 75 countries, including several Western Balkan nations, which was imposed by former President Donald Trump's administration in January. The ban aimed to prevent entry of individuals who would 'receive public benefits' and was based on the claim that these applicants posed a public burden. Justice Jeannette Vargas of the federal district court in Manhattan declared the ban unlawful, stating that Secretary of State Marco Rubio exceeded his authority by implementing the policy. The ruling allows visa applications to resume for citizens of Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, among others. The decision highlights legal challenges to immigration policies under Trump’s administration, which had implemented multiple measures targeting undocumented immigrants.
