After White House Attack, Trump Announces \u201cPermanent Pause\u201d on Migration \u2014 Raising Legal and Moral Questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Nov 27 (Reuters)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 U.S. President Donald Trump announced Thursday that his administration will \u201cpermanently pause\u201d migration from what he called \u201cThird World Countries,\u201d following the fatal shooting of a National Guard member near the White House.<\/p>\n

The declaration marks a sharp escalation in migration policy since Wednesday\u2019s attack, which investigators say was carried out by an Afghan national who entered the United States in 2021 through a resettlement program created after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Trump did not specify which nations would be affected or define what \u201cpermanently pause\u201d would entail. He added that the policy would cover cases previously approved under former President Joe Biden\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States,\u201d Trump posted on his platform,\u00a0Truth Social<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Redefining National Security and Belonging<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In his remarks, Trump vowed to end federal benefits for non-citizens and to deport anyone deemed a public-safety risk or, in his words, \u201cnon-compatible with Western civilization.\u201d He also suggested denaturalizing migrants \u201cwho undermine domestic tranquility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neither the White House nor U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services responded to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

United Nations officials urged Washington to uphold its international commitments.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cWe expect all countries, including the United States, to honor their obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention,\u201d said Farhan Haq, spokesperson for the U.N. secretary general.
\u201cAsylum seekers are entitled to due process under international law,\u201d added Jeremy Laurence of the U.N. Human Rights Office.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

A Tragedy and Its Ripple Effects<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The president\u2019s comments followed the death of\u00a0National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom<\/strong>, 20, who was killed in Wednesday\u2019s ambush. Fellow Guardsman\u00a0Andrew Wolfe<\/strong>, 24, remains hospitalized.<\/p>\n

According to Homeland Security officials, Trump ordered an immediate review of asylum cases approved under the previous administration and a reassessment of Green Cards issued to citizens of 19 countries.<\/p>\n

The alleged gunman,\u00a0Rahmanullah Lakanwal<\/strong>, 29, entered the U.S. in 2021 as part of the Biden-era Afghan evacuation program and was later granted asylum under Trump\u2019s administration, government documents show.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Before announcing the pause, Trump claimed that \u201chundreds of thousands\u201d of evacuees arrived \u201cunvetted and unchecked\u201d during the airlift from Kabul \u2014 a claim that immigration experts have disputed, noting that most were processed through extensive screening.<\/p>\n

USCIS confirmed Wednesday that it has\u00a0temporarily halted<\/em>\u00a0processing of immigration requests connected to Afghan nationals pending further review.<\/p>\n

\n

The New Phase: \u2018Reverse Migration\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Trump said his broader goal was to reduce \u201cillegal and disruptive populations,\u201d a phrase critics say could encompass even legally present immigrants.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cOnly\u00a0reverse migration<\/em>\u00a0can fully cure this situation,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While Lakanwal\u2019s case involved a legally admitted migrant, the attack has become a rallying point for the administration\u2019s efforts to expand vetting and limit resettlement.<\/p>\n

Immigration and Customs Enforcement data show that as of mid-November, more than two-thirds of the 53,000 people detained by ICE had no criminal record \u2014 a statistic fueling debate about proportional enforcement versus collective punishment.<\/p>\n

\n

Beyond Policy: The Test of Principle<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Behind the headlines lies a deeper question about the kind of security America seeks. The tension between vigilance and justice \u2014 between protecting borders and protecting the moral fabric that defines a nation \u2014 is once again at the center of U.S. politics.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

True security, as some observers note, cannot come only from restriction. It requires trust that the nation\u2019s power will be exercised with wisdom \u2014 that even in grief and anger, law remains tempered by conscience.<\/p>\n

In moments like these, the strength of a country is measured not just by how it reacts to threat, but by how faithfully it guards its own humanity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
