On August 21, 2026, a federal court struck down the State Department’s January 2026 policy pausing immigrant visa issuance for nationals of 75 countries, including The Bahamas, on the theory that these populations presented a “high risk” of becoming a public charge. The court’s reasoning in CLINIC v. Rubio was straightforward: a public charge determination under INA § 212(a)(4) must be individualised and tied to a specific applicant’s facts. A blanket, country-wide freeze cannot substitute for that analysis.
