A federal judge in the United States struck down an immigration policy implemented during the Trump administration that affected nationals from 39 countries, including Afghanistan. The policy was enforced by the Department of Homeland Security and immigration services, impacting individuals seeking entry or residency.

Supporters of the ruling argue it restores fairness and legal standards, while opponents claim it undermines national security and immigration control. The case highlights tensions over executive authority and immigration regulation.

The court's decision is pending further procedural steps to determine the policy's future enforcement.
