Trump dropped a bombshell on Truth Social about hitting pause on migration from what he calls Third World Countries after a National Guard member got killed near the White House by an Afghan guy who came over during the 2021 pullout. The president is calling it a terrorist attack, and he basically wants to lock the door on anyone from developing nations while the system gets fixed.
Kenya dodged the immediate bullet since it's not on the 19-country red list that has Somalia and other East African spots, but the whole Third World label gives the administration mad flexibility to expand the ban whenever they feel like it. The Diversity Visa Lottery that tons of Kenyans use to get to America is getting strangled through delays, and people who already won their DV-2025 tickets might see them expire before embassies process anything.
The scary part is that Stephen Miller and Tom Homan are running the show with their hardcore anti-immigration stance, and they're even threatening to review Green Cards that Biden handed out while bringing back rules that could deport legal residents who use government benefits.
