Trump administration pauses all immigration applications from 19 non-European countries
NegativeU.S News
- The Trump administration has paused all immigration applications from 19 non-European countries, including Afghanistan and Somalia, due to national security concerns. This indefinite halt follows a series of travel bans and restrictions imposed earlier this year, as announced by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
- This decision significantly impacts individuals seeking asylum and immigration from these countries, as it places an immediate hold on all asylum applications and visa issuances, raising fears among those affected about their future in the U.S.
- The move reflects ongoing tensions surrounding immigration policy, particularly in the wake of recent violent incidents involving Afghan nationals, which have intensified scrutiny and led to calls for re-examination of previous immigration decisions made under the Biden administration.
