US EditionTrump orders 'rigorous re-examination' of all green cards tied to countries 'of concern'
The Trump administration halted Afghan immigration processing and ordered a review of green cards from 19 countries citing national security after a near-White House shooting.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump directed U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to reexamine every green card for people from countries the administration calls 'of concern', but USCIS did not specify which nations.
- A day after a Washington shooting that left two National Guard members, Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Andrew Wolfe, 24, in critical condition, President Donald Trump called it an `act of terror` and vowed more troops.
- Federal prosecutors say the Afghan suspect was resettled under Operation Allies Welcome, and Jeanine Pirro confirmed reviewing his immigration history, while sources told NBC News he was granted asylum this year.
- As part of the response, the administration has halted all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals indefinitely, and USCIS field offices such as the Miami field office will participate in the review.
- Officials say the action reflects national-security concerns as USCIS Director Joseph Edlow said protecting the country `remains paramount` and federal prosecutors review Afghan-related resettlement programs.
