Newsman: Trump has ordered the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to reexamine the statuses of green-card holders from “every country of concern,” the agency’s director, Joseph Edlow, said Thursday.
Edlow wrote on X that, at the direction of the president, he has ordered a “full-scale, rigorous” review of green cards. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has already paused all immigration requests from Afghan nationals after the shooting.
On the day of the shooting, Trump said the U.S. must “re-examine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden.”
“If they can’t love our country, we don’t want them,” Trump said.
Following Trump’s statement, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced that it was pausing all immigration applications from Afghan nationals.
