In the United States, a federal judge struck down an immigration policy implemented during the Trump administration that affected nationals from 39 countries, including Afghanistan. The policy had been enforced by the Department of Homeland Security and immigration services, impacting individuals seeking entry or residency. Advocates argue the policy was discriminatory and harmful, while supporters claim it was necessary for national security. The legal challenge and ruling raise questions about the scope and authority of executive immigration actions.

The case is ongoing with further judicial review expected.
