In ''Cook County v. Wolf'', 962 F.3d 208 (7th Cir. 2020), Barrett dissented in her 40-page disagreement with the panel majority's decision to uphold a preliminary injunction against President [[Trump]]'s public charge rule cutting off entitlements to some immigrants. Judge Barrett pointed out that an overwhelming majority of those within the scope of the rule were not eligible for government benefits anyway. Judge Barrett wrote that Trump's rule fell within the broad scope of discretion granted by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act to the [[Executive Branch]].

In ''Yafai v. Pompeo'', 924 F.3d 969 (7th Cir. 2019), Judge Barrett wrote a decision for the 2-1 panel which rejected a wife's claim for a visa which had twice been denied by a consular officer, despite how her husband was a [[United States]] citizen. Judge Barrett wrote for the court that the plaintiff’s claim was properly dismissed under the doctrine of consular nonreviewability. Judges Barrett and Joel Flaum wrote opinions concurring in the subsequent denial of the petition for rehearing en banc.
