Trump administration blocking legal status for some Muslim immigrants: lawsuit

The Trump administration is blocking the attempts of immigrants from seven Muslim-majority nations in their efforts to obtain legal status as U.S. citizens or legal residents, Reuters reported citing the ACLU.

The lawsuit is a proposed class-action brought on behalf of nationals of the seven Muslim-majority nations named in President Donald Trump's executive order banning entry from those countries.

The members of the class are living or previously did live in the United States, the suit said.
