Feds Want Research Coalition's Visa Censorship Suit Tossed
· WOWERI
The Trump administration is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit from a research coalition over visa censorship. The coalition argues the new visa policy is unlawful.
Introduction
The Trump administration has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit from a research coalition over visa censorship. The coalition argues the new visa policy is unlawful and targets noncitizens who help foreign governments censor protected expression by American citizens and tech companies.
Background
The new visa policy was introduced to prevent censorship of American content. However, the research coalition believes the policy is overly broad and could affect legitimate researchers and scholars.
Implications
If the lawsuit is dismissed, it could have serious implications for researchers and scholars coming to the US to work. The research coalition is urging all interested parties to monitor the situation and prepare for possible changes to visa policy.
