The Trump administration suspended all immigration applications from Afghan nationals with immediate effect on Wednesday night following a shooting in D.C. that critically injured two West Virginia National Guard members.
The big picture: The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' announcement came soon after President Trump in a video address vowed to "re-examine every single" immigrant who had entered the U.S. from Afghanistan during the Biden administration, after confirming that the shooting suspect is an Afghan national who arrived in 2021.
