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.
