flag Trump paused immigration from unnamed "Third World" countries post-D.C. shooting, citing security and crime.

flag Donald Trump announced a "permanent pause" on immigration from countries he labeled "Third World" following a fatal shooting in Washington, D.C., by an Afghan national granted asylum under his administration. flag He cited national security, economic strain, and crime as justification, vowing to reverse Biden-era immigration decisions, end federal benefits for noncitizens, and deport individuals deemed public charges or security risks. flag The administration launched a review of asylum cases and green cards issued to nationals from 19 countries, including Afghanistan, and halted immigration processing for Afghan applicants. flag Trump did not define "Third World" or specify affected nations, drawing criticism over vague terminology and potential discrimination. flag The move intensifies debate over immigration policy, border security, and the use of political rhetoric in response to recent violence.
