The Trump administration has halted all immigration applications from 19 countries that were already under travel restrictions to the United States following the shooting of two National Guard soldiers in Washington, D.C.
A memorandum issued Tuesday by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said that a “comprehensive re-review, potential interview, and re-interview of all aliens from high-risk countries of concern” who entered the U.S. on or after January 20, 2021, was necessary.
