TL;DR Summary

President Donald Trump suspended the green card lottery program following the Brown University and MIT shootings, which involved a suspect who entered the U.S. through this lottery system. The suspect, Claudio Neves Valente, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot, and the move to halt the program is part of broader immigration policy changes. The diversity visa lottery, which grants up to 50,000 green cards annually, is often criticized and is likely to face legal challenges.
