US halts asylum decisions in new migrant crackdown

Govt to re-examine green cards amid fallout from shooting of National Guard members
-
The United States is freezing all asylum decisions, officials said on Nov 29, as President Donald Trump hardens his anti-migrant stance after an Afghan national allegedly shot two National Guard members this week in Washington.
The Nov 26 attack on the soldiers — one of whom died from her injuries — has ignited a fresh crackdown on foreigners in the US, with Mr Trump also pledging to suspend migration from “Third World countries”.
Mr Joseph Edlow, director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), said that his agency has “halted all asylum decisions until we can ensure that every alien is vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible”.
That followed Mr Trump’s announcement late on Nov 27 of plans to “permanently pause migration from all Third World countries to allow the US system to fully recover”.
Asked which nationalities would be affected, the Department of Homeland Security pointed AFP to a list of 19 countries - including Afghanistan, Cuba, Haiti, Iran and Myanmar - already facing US travel restrictions since June.
