Judge Orders Redacted Release of Prince Harry's U.S. Immigration Records
The Department of Homeland Security will release portions of the Duke of Sussex's visa records as part of a legal battle led by the Heritage Foundation.
- A federal judge has directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release redacted portions of Prince Harry's U.S. immigration records by March 6, 2025.
- The Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit seeking the records to determine if Prince Harry disclosed his past drug use, as mentioned in his memoir, during his visa application process.
- DHS has identified three documents that can be partially released with redactions, while a fourth document will remain withheld due to privacy concerns.
- Critics argue that the scrutiny over Prince Harry's immigration status is unprecedented and may violate privacy norms typically upheld in such cases.
- The case follows public remarks by Donald Trump, who stated he would not pursue Prince Harry's deportation, despite the ongoing legal inquiry into his visa records.
