Trump just dropped orders for a massive review of green card holders from 19 countries after some Afghan guy who came in under a Biden-era program allegedly carried out a shooting in DC. The list hits places like Sudan, Somalia, Congo, and Burundi, with the White House saying they want to audit anyone from spots where checking IDs is sketchy or terrorism risks run high.
Homeland Security is telling people this audit only targets folks with criminal records or weird stuff in their original files, but immigrant communities are freaking out anyway. East African diaspora groups in Minneapolis and Seattle say hundreds of legal residents are worried their permanent status could get yanked, and the whole thing has everyone wondering if years of building a life here could get wiped out over some new security directive.
