The U.S. government announced sweeping measures on immigration as President Donald Trump and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem take a hard stance against what they call “criminal migrants.” Noem called for a full travel ban on countries “flooding America with criminal migrants”, while Trump shared her X post on Truth Social and vowed to permanently pause migration from high-risk nations. The move came after an Afghan asylum seeker was named as the primary suspect in the recent D.C. National Guard shooting. Visa processing for Afghan passport holders has been suspended, and the administration plans to re-examine cases from 19 nations, with potential expansion to nearly 30 countries.
