President Donald Trump's administration has temporarily halted visa appointments for applicants worldwide amid an ongoing immigration crackdown during the Republican leader's second term in the White House. A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department announced on Tuesday that the global initiative involves training at all U.S. embassies and consulates, with visa service appointments being adjusted accordingly.
Trump's administration has implemented an aggressive deportation drive and immigration crackdown, targeting various grounds such as political opinions and protests against Israel's actions in Gaza. The crackdown, aimed at enhancing domestic security, has encountered legal challenges. A U.S. judge recently ruled against a policy suspending immigrant visa issuance to applicants from 75 countries, stating that the policy surpassed Secretary of State Marco Rubio's legal authority.
