Trump went off on social media, saying he wants to completely halt migration from developing nations after some Afghan guy got blamed for killing a National Guard member in DC. The president claimed hundreds of thousands of Somali refugees basically took over Minnesota and said he plans to yank all federal benefits from noncitizens while forcing out anyone who entered illegally.
Immigration services already froze processing for Afghans and started re-checking green cards from 19 countries, such as Cuba, Haiti, Iran, Somalia, and Venezuela. The whole plan could catch legal heat from courts and UN groups already pushing back, but Trump keeps doubling down on his second-term crackdown by targeting birthright citizenship and slashing refugee admissions.
