- U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to “permanently pause” migration from all “Third World Countries” following the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. by an Afghan national.
- The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, entered the U.S. in 2021 under a resettlement program for Afghans who helped American forces.
- Trump’s proposed plans include ending federal benefits and subsidies for noncitizens, denaturalization of individuals deemed threats, and deportation of those considered security risks or “non-compatible with Western Civilization.”
- The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is conducting a full review of green cards issued to citizens from 19 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Libya, Yemen, Cuba, Venezuela, Chad, and Eritrea.
- USCIS halted all immigration processing for Afghan nationals after the attack.
