RIGHT-WING THINK TANK FILES LAWSUIT DEMANDING PRINCE HARRY’S IMMIGRATION RECORDS

THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION IS DEMANDING HARRY’S CONFIDENTIAL IMMIGRATION RECORDS,
WHICH THEY ARGUE MAY SHOW HE LIED ABOUT DRUG USE WHEN HE OBTAINED A VISA TO
ENTER THE US

A right-wing think tank with close ties to former president Donald Trump wants a
federal court to order the public release of Prince Harry’s immigration records
because they believe his past admissions of drug use make him ineligible to
enter the United States.

The Heritage Foundation on Monday filed suit against the Department of Homeland
Security in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, just over a
month after the group made a Freedom of Information Act request for information
on how the Duke of Sussex was admitted into the US when he and his wife,
American ex-actress Meghan Markle, decamped there after leaving the UK in 2020.




Although immigration records are generally exempt from release under the Freedom
of Information Act because of strict privacy laws governing the handling of
personal information, the pro-Trump group argues that Harry, whose full legal
name is Henry Charles Albert David George Mountbatten-Windsor, should not be
afforded the same protections because of the “immense public interest” in his
current status.

At issue for the right-wing think tank is the Duke’s past admissions of drug
use, which under many circumstances would render him inadmissible into the US.
In his bestselling memoir, Spare, Harry describes in detail his drug use,
including one experience with hallucinogenic mushrooms.





RECOMMENDED

 * Everyone we know invited to King Charles’ coronation – from Prince Harry to
   Princess Charlene of Monaco
 * Thomas Markle says he refuses to be ‘buried’ by daughter Meghan as he gives
   ‘final interview’
 * Prince Harry’s waxwork at Madam Tussauds reunited with royal family for
   coronation

He writes that he first took cocaine at the age of 17 and used it sparingly
since then but has said that his use of marijuana and mushrooms helped him deal
with past trauma.

“Widespread and continuous media coverage has surfaced the question of whether
DHS properly admitted the Duke of Sussex in light of the fact that he has
publicly admitted to the essential elements of a number of drug offences in both
the United States and abroad... Intense media coverage has also surfaced the
question of whether DHS may have improperly granted the Duke of Sussex a waiver
to enter the Country on a non-immigrant visa given his history of admissions to
the essential elements of drug offences,” the group said in its lawsuit.

The Heritage Foundation added that “media coverage” of its previous Freedom of
Information request has supposedly “surfaced the question of whether DHS’
decision to admit the Duke of Sussex into the United States should be
reconsidered in light of the Duke of Sussex’s most recent admissions to the
essential elements of numerous drug offences”.



The group is framing its demand for information as part of an effort to shed
light on whether the Biden administration is properly enforcing US immigration
law.

It’s unclear what kind of visa Harry obtained before he and his wife moved to
California in 2020. He is believed to hold either a spousal visa tied to his
wife, who is an American citizen by birth, or a visa known as an O-1, which is
usually granted to people possessing an “extraordinary ability in the sciences,
arts, education, business, or athletics” or a record of extraordinary
achievement in film or television.
