Trump Vows Permanent Halt to 'Third World' Immigration as USCIS Pauses Afghan Cases

Agency moves signal rapid operational shifts following the Washington shooting.

Overview

  • In a Truth post, President Trump said he will suspend immigration from all so‑called Third World countries to let the U.S. system recover.
  • He pledged to end federal benefits for non‑citizens, pursue denaturalization of migrants he says undermine domestic tranquility, and expel those deemed public burdens or security risks.
  • USCIS announced an immediate, indefinite suspension of processing for all Afghan‑related immigration requests pending a review of screening protocols.
  • DHS said it will review all asylum grants issued during the four years of the Biden administration.
  • The announcement followed a Washington shooting that killed a National Guard member, and key details such as the list of affected countries and legal mechanisms have not been specified.
