ACLU files class action against travel ban under immigration law

The ACLU filed a nationwide class action lawsuit in federal district court challenging President Trump's reinstated travel ban, arguing it violated the Immigration and Nationality Act's prohibition on nationality-based discrimination in visa issuance. The suit represented travelers, visa holders, and legal permanent residents stranded or blocked from returning to the United States. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order within hours, blocking enforcement of the ban at US airports.
