U.S. Suspends Immigration Processes for 19 Countries Amid Security Concerns
TL;DR Summary
The Trump administration has paused all immigration applications from 19 designated high-risk countries, including green cards and naturalizations, citing national security concerns following a shooting incident involving an Afghan national. The move also involves a comprehensive review of existing immigrants from these countries who entered during the Biden administration, with increased scrutiny and potential law enforcement referrals. Critics argue these measures amount to collective punishment for immigrants.
