The attack caused a stir in the U.S. capital and fueled the political offensive of Trumpism against refugee admission programs. Trump took advantage of the Thanksgiving holiday to lead a rhetorical offensive in which he attacked decades-old migration policies, claiming that the United States has accumulated '53 million foreigners,' whom he linked to an increase in crime, fiscal deficits, and urban decay. On the international front, diplomats consulted indicate that any general restriction based on national origin could trigger lawsuits and multilateral tensions. The presidential message closed with a Thanksgiving greeting, tinged with warnings for those — in his words — 'who hate, destroy, or attack everything the United States stands for.' The statements sparked strong condemnation from various political sectors, which considered his expressions racist and destabilizing. In parallel, the federal government confirmed it will review all visas, asylum grants, and migration permits issued in the last four years, marking the beginning of an unprecedented process in scale. National Security sources anticipate that the Executive is seeking to design an 'accelerated' mechanism for deporting foreigners considered of 'potential risk,' while the White House evaluates measures to minimize the entry of new asylum seekers. The rhetoric used by Trump reflects the orientation of his second term, focused almost exclusively on a policy of pressure against irregular immigration, with a stated goal: to drastically reduce the migrant population, both documented and undocumented. He also stated that he will expel any foreigner who 'is not a net asset to the United States' or is 'incompatible with Western civilization.' The presidential message came hours after the death of Sarah Beckstrom, a 20-year-old National Guard soldier who was shot on Wednesday by Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan who entered in 2021 under a humanitarian permit granted during the Biden administration. The statement, made through an extensive social media post, marked a new step in the mass deportation strategy driven by his return to power. The Republican leader maintained that the U.S. migration system is 'collapsed' and that only a 'reverse migration,' based on systematic expulsions, could reverse what he described as a 'profound deterioration' of the country's social structure. Analysts in Washington warn that a total suspension of entries from 'third-world countries' would have a global impact and could affect diplomatic relations with the United States' strategic allies. Despite the extreme tone of the message, the White House did not provide details on the specific application of the measure, nor did it clarify what criteria it would use to classify certain nations in that category. Trump affirmed that he will take immediate measures to revoke 'millions' of visas approved during the Joe Biden government, as well as eliminate federal benefits for all non-citizens. The migrant community and civil organizations reacted with concern, anticipating a period of political and judicial conflict as the Executive moves toward a new, unprecedented restrictive framework.
Washington D.C., November 28, 2025 – Total News Agency-TNA- The President of the United States, Donald Trump, launched one of the harshest messages of his second term on migration by announcing that he plans to 'permanently suspend migration from all third-world countries,' in response to the attack that occurred meters from the White House, where an Afghan citizen opened fire on two National Guard members, causing the death of one of them. In this context, he criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar in unusually aggressive terms, accusing them of tolerating what he described as 'Somali gangs' in that state. Another officer, Andrew Wolfe, 24, remains in critical condition.
