Breaking News;

Green card might be back from 15 October.

Key Take aways,

The DV-2027 lottery registration has not opened, and U.S. District Judge Jinsook Ohta has scheduled a ruling on a preliminary injunction for October 14, 2026 in the federal lawsuit Red Eagle Law, L.C. v. Rubio.

Current Status of the Case and Registration

The Lawsuit: Filed by Red Eagle Law against the U.S. State Department and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the suit seeks to compel the administration to open the delayed DV-2027 Green Card Lottery registration window.

Initial Court Action: On September 3, 2026, Judge Ohta denied the plaintiffs' emergency request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) without prejudice due to timing constraints, though she allowed the case to proceed on an expedited schedule.

Government Arguments: Department of Justice attorneys argued that it has become legally impossible or too late to run the DV-2027 registration cycle as originally scheduled before the fiscal year transition.

Plaintiff Arguments: The plaintiffs contend that the administration is intentionally running out the clock with indefinite pauses to bypass Congress and effectively cancel the 55,000-visa statutory program.

Upcoming Verdict: Judge Ohta is expected to issue a formal ruling on the motion for a preliminary injunction by October 14, 2026.

Is this the end of green card for Kenyans and other third world countries???

Donald Trump has said he will "permanently pause migration" to the US from all "third world countries".

The US president has not provided details of his plan or named which countries might be affected.

Trump wrote in a Truth Social post it would "allow the US system to fully recover" from immigration policies that had eroded the "gains and living conditions" of many Americans.

It comes a day after an Afghan national was accused of shooting two members of the National Guard in Washington DC, one of whom has died.

The same day the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said it would re-examine green cards issued to individuals who migrated to the US from 19 countries.

When asked by the BBC which countries were on the list, the agency pointed to a June proclamation by the White House that included Afghanistan, Cuba, Haiti, Iran, Somalia and Venezuela.

The phrase "third world" is a term that was used in the past to describe poorer, developing nation

The president did not name which countries would be affected, but vowed to remove anyone "not a net asset" to the US.
