BRASILIA (Reuters) - A Brazilian federal appeals court judge on Tuesday overturned a ruling barring Venezuelan immigrants fleeing economic and political turmoil from entering the country, the Solicitor General's office, which had made the appeal, said.
On Sunday, a federal judge in the northern state of Roraima ordered the border closed until the state could create "humanitarian" conditions to receive a massive influx of Venezuelans, who have overwhelmed state social services and caused a growing humanitarian crisis.
