Trump promises to temporarily halt migration following DC attack

In response to the recent attack on National Guard members in Washington, DC, President Donald Trump has announced a temporary pause on migration from certain developing countries. The incident resulted in the death of one soldier, while the suspect, identified as an Afghan refugee, was injured during the attack.

Trump expressed his stance on immigration through a post on his Truth Social platform, calling for a REVERSE MIGRATION strategy. Additionally, his administration plans to conduct a thorough review of all permanent residency applications submitted by citizens from 19 specific countries, including Afghanistan.

According to The New York Times, anti-immigration sentiment has been increasing among conservative circles following the attack. Trump linked the incident to concerns involving Somali refugees, and a Republican senator has proposed banning certain Muslim migrants from entering the United States.
