Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled the visa ban was outside the statutory authority of Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The ruling allows visa applications from affected countries to be reconsidered, but denials based on other grounds remain.
The Trump administration has the option to appeal the decision.
