The article title is, putting it nicely, misleading. Here, from the article, is what the judge ordered:
A federal judge this week ordered the Trump administration to end visa processing delays for hundreds of Afghan and Iraqi nationals who worked for U.S. forces, giving the government 30 days to propose a plan to end backlogs that have kept many waiting more than four years to enter the United States while facing persecution and death threats.
The ruling Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan of Washington, D.C., granted class-action status to all applicants whose visa requests have been pending for more than nine months — a deadline set by statute — and followed a September opinion in which the judge called the government’s justification for delays “tortured and untenable.â€
She granted class-action status, which contrary to the article makes total sense. There are hundreds of applicants with the same cause of action. And she ordered the government to propose a plan to clear its processing backlog; the law requires processing within 90 days, a law the US government has clearly broken.
1. The judge did not order these Iraqis to be brought into the US.
2. Some or all of the applications could be denied.
3. The judge ordered the US government to come into compliance with the law.
