This Obama appointed judge is a nut-case, this ruling is proof.
IOW, a judge now claims control over immigration. Expect a stay from the First Circuit, or failing that, from the Supreme Court and an eventual reversal.
This is an outrageous decision.

This is an outrageous decision.
A federal judge, appointed by former President Barack Obama, has blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from halting legal immigration and asylum applications from nearly 40 countries deemed “high-risk” by officials.
On Friday, Chief Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island declared the Trump administration’s policies that ordered a halt on legal immigration from 39 high-risk countries and the Palestinian Authority.
“Each of the Challenged Policies — the Global Asylum Hold Policy, the Benefits Hold Policy, the Comprehensive Re-Review Policy, and the Country-Specific Factors Policy — are declared unlawful and are hereby VACATED and SET ASIDE,” McConnell wrote in his ruling:
Plaintiffs’ request for a permanent injunction is DENIED. The Government’s related Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ constitutional claims is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
The Trump policy had sought to protect American citizens from potential terrorism risks arriving from foreign countries after Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, brought to the U.S. as part of the Biden administration’s withdrawal of U.S. Armed Forces from Afghanistan, killed National Guardsman Sarah Beckstrom and seriously injured National Guardsman Andrew Wolfe in November of last year.
The countries impacted by the policy were:
Afghanistan
Angola
Antigua and Barbuda
Benin
Burkina Faso
Burundi
Chad
Republic of Congo
Cote d ‘Ivoire
Cuba
Dominica
Equatorial Guinea
Eritrea
Gabon
Gambia
Haiti
Iran
Laos
Libya
Malawi
Mali
Mauritania
Myanmar
Niger
Nigeria
Palestinian Authority
Senegal
Sierra Leone
Somalia
South Sudan
Sudan
Syria
Tanzania
Togo
Tonga
Turkmenistan
Venezuela
Yemen
Zambia
Zimbabwe
The case is Dorcas International Institute of Rhode Island et al v. USCIS, No. 1:26-cv-00132 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island.
