Trump pauses Afghan refugee admissions after D.C. shooting by asylumee from Biden-era program.
Following a Washington D.C. National Guard shooting by an Afghan man admitted under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome and later granted asylum under Trump, the Trump administration paused Afghan refugee admissions, visas, and asylum processing, citing security concerns.
While some Republicans, including Senators Thom Tillis and Susan Collins, oppose broad restrictions, warning they endanger Afghans who aided U.S. troops, others support the crackdown.
The move has stranded thousands of approved refugees, sparked debate over vetting effectiveness, and intensified divisions within the GOP over immigration, national security, and commitments to allies.
