The EU recently amended its visa law to allow for fast track suspension of visa waivers, including an external relations ground. But there's no legal basis as things stand in EU law for *banning* visas for nationals of an entire country.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
