The Trump administration has halted all asylum decisions and paused issuing visas for people traveling on Afghan passports in the wake of a shooting that left one National Guard member dead and another in critical condition near the White House. A 29-year-old Afghan national who worked with the CIA during the Afghanistan War is facing a first-degree murder charge, while investigators continue to seek a motive. The Trump administration has seized on the shooting to vow to intensify its steps to rein in legal immigration to the United States, promising to pause entry from some poor countries and review Afghans and other legal migrants already in the country, along with other measures, some of which had been previously set in motion.
