The United States has suspended all asylum decisions following a deadly attack on two National Guard members in Washington, allegedly carried out by an Afghan national. President Donald Trump has responded by intensifying his anti-migrant policies, announcing plans to halt migration from several countries and promising stricter vetting for all asylum seekers. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services has confirmed that asylum processing is on hold until enhanced screening measures are in place. Additionally, the State Department has temporarily stopped issuing visas to individuals traveling on Afghan passports, emphasizing national security as the top priority.
