President Donald Trump today declared a permanent halt to migration from all Third World countries. This decisive action follows a tragic shooting near the White House that claimed the life of a National Guard member and left another critically injured. The president aims to protect American citizens and strengthen national security amid growing concerns over immigration vetting.
The incident occurred on November 27, 2025, when an Afghan national opened fire on two National Guard soldiers patrolling near the White House. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, succumbed to her injuries, while Andrew Wolfe, 24, remains in critical condition. Investigators continue to probe potential terrorism links and examine failures in the immigration process that allowed the suspect entry.
In a series of social media posts on Thanksgiving, President Trump stated, "We will permanently pause migration from all Third World countries. Our system must recover, and we cannot allow unvetted individuals to threaten our safety." He further vowed to reverse illegal admissions and prioritize American recovery from past policy shortcomings.
This policy shift underscores the administration's commitment to border security. President Trump emphasized that the United States has long welcomed immigrants but must now address immediate threats. "There are a lot of problems with Afghans and others from these regions," he noted, calling for stringent measures to prevent future incidents.
The White House will work with Congress and relevant agencies to implement this pause effectively. Further details on the policy rollout will follow in the coming days.
