In issuing the order, Judge Mehta granted the visa winners' re | Trump BAN

In issuing the order, Judge Mehta granted the visa winners' request to invoke the All Writs Act, a centuries-old law permitting a court to issue orders "necessary to preserve the availability of meaningful judicial review."

The order is a victory for lottery winners embroiled in litigation since July 2020 seeking to knock back Trump's proclamations from  April and June barring them and many more immigrant and work visa holders from entering the country.

During a Thursday court hearing, attorneys for the Biden administration indicated that the White House would make a final decision on the bans at the end of the month. On Friday, hours before Judge Mehta's order came down, the State Department announced that it had exempted lottery winners whose visas are set to expire by the end of the month from the travel ban.
