Judge orders Trump administration to restore visa for Ohio State grad student
A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore a visa for an Ohio State graduate student who had it revoked in 2020. The student, who is a permanent resident of the US, was denied re-entry into the country due to the administration's public charge rule, but the court found that the decision was based on incorrect information.
A US federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore a visa for an Ohio State graduate student whose application was denied after speaking out about the administration's handling of COVID-19. The judge's ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by the student, who claimed her visa denial was retaliation for participating in a Senate hearing on pandemic preparedness. The decision is seen as a victory for free speech advocates and those affected by the Trump administration's policies. The student can now resume work at Ohio State University.
