President Donald Trump said on Thursday he would suspend migration from what he called "third world countries," a day after an Afghan national allegedly shot two National Guard soldiers in Washington, killing one.
He also threatened to reverse "millions" of admissions granted under Biden, and to "remove anyone who is not a net asset to our country.
Joseph Edlow, Trump's director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said on Thursday he had ordered a "full scale, rigorous reexamination of every Green Card for every alien from every country of concern."
His agency later pointed to a list of 19 countries – including Afghanistan, Cuba, Haiti, Iran, and Myanmar – facing US travel restrictions under a previous order from Trump in June.
The Trump administration had earlier ordered an immediate halt to the processing of immigration applications from Afghanistan.
