Prince Harry’s future in the U.S. might be up in the air as President Donald Trump was urged to release the royal’s immigration files, amid claims he lied about past drug use.
RadarOnline.com has reported that the Washington-based conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation, has questioned why the Duke of Sussex, was allowed into the U.S. with his wife Meghan Markle, in 2020 after his reference to illicit drug consumption.
As a result, the group brought a lawsuit against the Department for Homeland Security after a Freedom of Information request was rejected.
Heritage claimed Harry’s document was of “immense public interest” but lost the case on September 23rd when judge Carl Nichols ruled it should remain private.
Samuel Dewey, a lawyer for Heritage, filed motion in October in an attempt to overturn the ruling, claiming the publication of Harry’s immigration file “will help the public better understand how the Department conducts itself and how its officials exercise discretion.”
And now the Duke of Sussex no longer has support from the Biden administration, lawyers and fellows at the Heritage Foundation are hoping Trump will override the court’s decision to keep the files secret.
This is worrying news for Harry as the business mogul previously wanted the Brit might be deported from the U.S under his leadership if he was found to have falsified information on his visa form – even though his wife is American and his children are dual citizens.
Nile Gardiner, director of Heritage’s Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, said: “I’ll be urging the president to release Prince Harry’s immigration records and the president does have that legal authority to do that.”
