President Trump’s immediate freeze on Afghan immigration requests, triggered by an Afghan national’s shooting of two National Guards members in D.C., has ignited anger among leftists decrying it as “collective punishment.”
The move, announced via U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), halts “processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals… pending further review of security and vetting protocols.”
It comes as a direct response to the attack by a 2021 asylum grantee, underscoring Trump’s push to “reexamine” all Biden-era imports amid zero-fatality hopes for the victims.
Mass immigration advocate Jill Filipovic blasted the move as “collective identity-based punishment and not how any fair processes should work.”
