A tragic shooting in Washington DC has triggered sweeping policy changes in the U.S. An Afghan refugee, once allied with U.S. forces, opened fire on two National Guard soldiers — one has died. President Trump responded by ordering a "permanent pause" on immigration, targeting asylum seekers, green card holders, and even naturalised citizens from "Third World countries." The move affects over 190,000 Afghans admitted since 2021 and revives debates over birthright citizenship. Critics argue the order violates U.S. law and racial norms, while the administration defends it as a national security measure. Trump’s immigration strategy is back — under a new name.
