US President Donald Trump announced that he will pause migration from third-world countries to give the US immigration system time to recover. He made this statement after a National Guard member was shot near the White House in an attack linked to an Afghan national. Trump called the incident an act of terror. His decision to pause migration from third-world countries reflects his strong focus on national security.
Trump also said on Truth Social that federal benefits and subsidies for noncitizens will be stopped. He added that migrants who threaten public safety or go against American values could lose their citizenship and face deportation. These steps are part of his wider immigration policy, which aims to tighten controls and reshape the system.
The US President also shared that immigration requests from Afghan nationals will not be processed until further security reviews are completed. This move highlights the administration’s concern over vetting procedures and its focus on public safety.
Since returning to office, Trump has taken a tougher approach to immigration. He has reversed several policies from the previous administration and pushed for stricter border rules. His goal is to rebuild what he describes as a strained immigration system.
Trump ended his statement by sending Thanksgiving wishes, excluding those who “hate, steal, murder, and destroy.” He warned that such individuals “won’t be here for long.”
These actions show a clear shift toward stronger enforcement and tighter immigration controls.
