A U.S. judge on Friday struck down a Trump administration policy suspending the issuance of immigrant visas to applicants \u200bfrom 75 countries, saying that the policy exceeded Secretary of State Marco Rubio&#8217;s statutory \u200bauthority.<br><br>The State Department did not specify details on the training and its timeline, beyond saying the \u200ctraining aimed \u2060to help consular officers screen out applicants deemed likely to become dependent on U.S. public benefits and to ensure evaluation of visa applicants &#8220;comprehensively and consistently.&#8221;<br>The pause on visa appointments was reported earlier by the Financial Times, which said immigrant visa applicants with scheduled \u200binterviews at U.S. embassies \u200band consulates have \u2060received emails that their appointments were being rescheduled and that they would receive future notice of a new date.<br>Trump&#8217;s immigration crackdown has \u200bbeen widely condemned by human rights groups as being discriminatory and \u200bin violation \u2060of free speech and due process rights.
