A federal court has struck down USCIS policies that paused asylum and immigration-benefit adjudications for applicants from Travel Ban or “high-risk” countries.
On June 5, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island vacated the USCIS policies that had imposed the adjudication hold.
The ruling covered policies affecting applicants from Travel Ban or “high-risk” countries, including a January 1, 2026 memorandum that extended the hold to additional countries.
