President Donald Trump on Thursday said he would “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries” as he continues to use a Washington, D.C., shooting to intensify his crackdown on immigration.
One National Guard member has since died of her injuries and another remains in critical condition as of Sunday.
Authorities said Wednesday’s attack was carried out by an Afghan national. He entered the country legally under a resettlement program implemented by former President Joe Biden in 2021 but was granted asylum this year under the Trump administration, according to Reuters.
The Trump administration has since vowed to reexamine all asylum cases approved during the Biden years and green cards issued to citizens of 19 countries listed in a travel ban Trump rolled out in June.
