A federal judge has ruled that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must make Prince Harry’s immigration records public, requiring the agency to release the documents by Tuesday.
The decision comes after a lawsuit by The Heritage Foundation, which has argued that the records could reveal whether Harry properly disclosed past drug use on his visa application. The group filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to obtain the documents, leading to a legal fight over privacy concerns.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols ruled that DHS must release redacted versions of the records. The agency previously denied the FOIA request but later agreed to provide limited information as long as it did not violate personal privacy protections.
The issue stems from Prince Harry’s own statements in his 2023 book, “Spare,” where he admitted to using cocaine in the past. While past drug use does not automatically disqualify someone from receiving a U.S. visa, failing to disclose it could lead to legal complications. If it is found that Harry omitted the information, he could face potential consequences.
Despite the controversy, President Donald Trump has stated he has no plans to take action against the British royal. Speaking to the New York Post, Trump dismissed the idea of deportation, saying, “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Meanwhile, Trump’s immigration policies are facing resistance in court. A judge recently blocked his administration’s efforts to deport suspected members of Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan gang, using the Alien Enemies Act. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit to stop the removals, arguing against the policy.
