US judge considers release of Prince Harry's visa records in right-wing think tank challenge.

A rightwing thinktank, the Heritage Foundation, has alleged that Prince Harry may have lied about past drug use on his US visa application and has asked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release his application via the Freedom of Information Act. The DHS has denied the Foia requests, arguing that a person’s visa status is confidential. The Heritage Foundation argues that “widespread” coverage of Harry’s admitted drug use calls into question whether the government properly followed immigration law when it admitted him into the US and whether he was given preferential treatment. The DHS has until 13 June to decide whether or not it will expedite or respond to a request for the records.
