Germany treats US Ebola patient as US tightens Congo travel rules

A US national who contracted Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has arrived in Frankfurt for treatment, marking another Ebola case treated in Germany after a prior patient in Berlin; the patient, in his 60s and a humanitarian worker with Samaritan’s Purse, is under care as the WHO monitors the Ituri outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo strain (no vaccine or cure). The Trump administration has barred Americans in the DRC from flying home on commercial flights, placing them on a do-not-board list until they spend 21 days in a third country; about two dozen Americans were expected to board flights back, amid confirmation that the overall risk to Germany remains very low.

Brussels is coordinating with the ECDC and WHO as Congo cases approach 600, while criticizing U.S. pressure as potentially undermining the global health response ahead of the World Cup.

Somali Referee Barred from U.S. Entry Ahead of World Cup 2026

Somali referee Omar Artan, poised to become Somalia’s first World Cup official, was denied entry to the United States at Miami despite a valid visa and is now in Istanbul. He was slated to officiate at World Cup 2026, and Somali officials say the denial undermines merit and fair play, noting travel-ban concerns as part of broader entry issues affecting officials ahead of the tournament.

If Iran and the U.S. both advance, they would meet in Texas on July 3, heightening security and protest concerns around the tournament.

Rhode Island Court Finds Travel-Ban Benefit Freeze Unlawful, Vacates Policy

A Rhode Island federal court vacated the Trump administration's policy that froze work permits, green cards, and other benefits for applicants from roughly 40 travel-ban countries, ruling the move violated the Administrative Procedure Act and causing widespread harm to immigrants already in the U.S.; the judge also struck down related asylum holds and the country-specific factors policy, rejecting government justifications and motives.

Court halts Trump-era freeze on U.S. immigration benefits for 39 countries

A Rhode Island federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s plan to freeze work permits, green cards, citizenship applications and other immigration benefits for noncitizens from 39 countries affected by the travel bans, ruling the measures unlawfully targeted people based on nationality and could leave hundreds of thousands in limbo; the decision restarts processing and requires rescheduling of naturalization ceremonies, with the government likely able to appeal to the First Circuit.

Rhode Island Judge Nullifies Trump-Era Blocks on Legal Immigration

A Rhode Island federal judge blocked Trump-era measures that paused or slowed asylum processing, green cards and other legal immigration benefits for hundreds of thousands of applicants, including nationals from 39 countries on the travel-ban list. In a 135-page opinion, Chief Judge John McConnell ruled these policies were arbitrary and unlawful, noting affected applicants had filed paperwork, paid fees, and attended biometrics and interviews. The ruling curtails the administration’s national-security justification and requires USCIS to resume processing, while DHS criticized the decision.

UK blocks entry of Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker over Israel views

Britain canceled travel authorization for left‑wing commentators Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker, saying their presence could not be conducive to the public good due to their views on Israel, which led to the cancellation of their SXSW London and Oxford appearances. The interior ministry did not name Israel in its statement, while the commentators criticized the move as a free-speech violation and denounced SXSW for not defending them.

CDC expands Ebola screening to Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport

The CDC added Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to its enhanced Ebola entry screening, creating a second U.S. entry point for travelers from the DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan. Dulles International was designated earlier, and the program is part of a broader Ebola strategy that includes overseas exit screening, airline illness reporting, and post‑arrival monitoring. The WHO reports 82 confirmed Ebola cases in the DRC with seven deaths and hundreds of suspected cases; the Trump administration had recently banned non-citizens who had traveled to the affected countries from entering the United States.

US restricts green-card entry for travelers from Ebola-affected African nations

The United States issued a 30-day rule barring lawful permanent residents who have traveled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan within the last 21 days from entering the U.S., expanding a prior ban that targeted only non-citizens. The policy aims to limit Ebola importation and is paired with expanded screening at Atlanta's airport in addition to existing checks at Dulles. U.S. citizens from the affected countries can still enter, with officials arguing the measure balances public health needs against emergency-resource constraints amid ongoing outbreaks and international risk assessments by WHO and Africa CDC.
