Federal judge temporarily blocks visa restrictions imposed by Trump administration on foreign students and journalists
The court ruling comes after several organizations raised concerns about the impact of these restrictions on press freedom and the appeal of American universities.
A U.S. judge has temporarily blocked visa restrictions targeting foreign students and journalists, a measure decided by the Trump administration, according to an article published by Le Monde on September 15, 2026.
According to the same source, this decision came in response to criticism from numerous organizations, which denounce the impact of these measures on press freedom as well as on the attractiveness of the American university system to foreign students.
Le Monde does not specify, in the available excerpt, the identity of the judge, the relevant court, or the exact content of the targeted restrictions. It is also not yet clear whether the Trump administration plans to appeal this temporary ruling.
This case is part of a broader context of tensions surrounding American immigration policy, though the consulted source provides no further details.
