The Trump administration said Thursday it will conduct a “full-scale, rigorous reexamination” of green cards for immigrants from 19“countries of concern”following the “ambush-style”shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. An Afghan national who arrived in 2021 under a Biden-era program for Afghan nationals called Operation Allies Welcome, has been arrested as a suspect. While officials point to the vetting process used during the 2021 evacuation, immigration advocates warn that one individual’s actions could have sweeping consequences for an already vulnerable Afghan community, CBS News @NicoleSganga reports. The administration has also paused immigration processing for Afghan nationals and is reviewing prior asylum grants.
