The Duke of Sussex moved to the US in the summer of 2020

Have your say and comment now: Should Prince Harry's immigration papers be
made public?

Joe Biden has suffered a fresh blow in a bitter court battle over Prince Harry's records.

Nile Gardiner, the director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at
The Heritage Foundation, took to social media today to discuss the ongoing court case with the Department of Homeland Security.

The conservative think tank wants Prince Harry’s US immigration files to
be made public.

This is because his memoir Spare featured accounts where he admitted to
taking marijuana, cocaine and psychedelic mushrooms in his past.

Drug use can be used as grounds to deny a US visa application, which could threaten the Duke of Sussex's US immigration status.

The Heritage Foundation sued the Department of Homeland Security under the Freedom of Information Act claiming that Prince Harry may have received favourable treatment when applying for his visa.

The Department of Homeland Security enforces anybody entering the US to
tick a yes or no box for having taken drugs in the past.

But the Biden administration is arguing against Harry's papers being
released, on the basis that visa applicants have a right to privacy.

The Heritage Foundation has argued that the prince undermined his right to privacy by “selling every aspect of his private life”.

Today on X, Gardiner wrote: "DHS/Prince Harry FOIA Update. Today the
Federal D.C. District Court ordered the DHS to submit 'to the Court in
camera a declaration or declarations that detail, with particularity, the records it is withholding and the particular harm that would arise from
public disclosure of them.'

"This means the Court wants to see detailed information about the records
in question for itself.

"It is important to note the Biden Administration repeatedly objected to
the Court taking this step.

"We are pleased to see the Court handle this matter with its customary thoroughness and to continue to give this important case the attention it deserves."

It has not yet been determined whether or not the duke's immigration
documents will be made public.

However, Gardiner and the Heritage Foundation are viewing this news as a
fresh blow to the Biden administration.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to the US in the summer of 2020.

They are raising their two children, Prince Archie, four, and Princess
Lilibet, two, in Montecito, California.

The duke and duchess stepped down from royal duties four years ago and
have only returned to the UK on a handful of occasions each.
