The Trump administration restricted visas for Nigerians involved in violence against Christians, implementing a targeted immigration policy based on religious persecution criteria. This represents a policy action affecting visa eligibility for specific foreign nationals.
Monitor whether this policy is actually implemented with transparent criteria and due process, or remains primarily a symbolic announcement. Request FOIA for visa denial statistics under this policy after 90 days.
This visa restriction targets a narrow foreign population based on religious persecution criteria, raising civil rights concerns about religious-based immigration policy (driver=3) and selective enforcement questions (rule_of_law=2). However, it's easily reversible policy with limited domestic constitutional impact (A=24). The framing around Christian persecution is highly outrage-optimized and media-friendly, dropped during a week with multiple higher-impact actions (EPA, birthright citizenship), suggesting strategic distraction value (B=48).
