Judge demands DHS hand over Prince Harry's immigration papers

A judge has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to hand over sensitive material about Prince Harry’s immigration papers for him to review while he decides whether to make them public.

Judge Carl Nichols told DHS that its arguments so far were ‘insufficiently detailed’ for him to make a decision.

He asked the agency, which oversees immigration, to give him declarations explaining the ‘particular harm’ that would arise from the disclosure of the Duke of Sussex’s visa application.

The development came after a hearing at the court in Washington last month in which Judge Nichols heard from DHS and the Heritage Foundation, which is seeking to release the material.

The Heritage Foundation is seeking the release of the documents as part of a Freedom of Information request it filed last year.

The think tank claimed that Harry could have lied about taking drugs in his immigration paperwork despite admitting doing them in his memoir and in the Netflix show.

If the Duke did not tell the truth on his entry forms then he could be removed from the US or barred by a border agent.

In an order filed to the court in Washington, Judge Nichols stated that the Freedom of Information law authorized him to review ‘declarations and/or contested records in camera’.

Judge Nichols gave DHS until March 21 to submit declarations that detail ‘the records it is withholding and the particular harm that would arise from public disclosure of them’, his order said.

The review will be conducted in camera, meaning it would be done by the judge in private.


1. The judge is a Trump appointee


2. Isn't Harry now a US citizen since he married one?

3. I'd be as happy as anyone to see him go.....elsewhere, accompanied by her. It'd be fun to see just where they'd go since they're not terribly welcome in the UK either.

4. Why is he receiving special treatment? He's not entitled to any more privacy than if you or I were in a similar situation.
