The US Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, stated that she met with President Donald Trump to recommend that he completely ban travel for individuals from countries that have sent 'foreign invaders' to US soil, although she did not specify which countries these are. "I just met with the president. Not a single one of them," concludes the Secretary of Homeland Security's message.
Suspension of Procedures for Afghans
Noem's post comes after an Afghan immigrant last week in Washington shot two members of the National Guard, one of whom died. Following the attack, Trump himself announced that asylum applications are frozen until standards for reviewing each petition are tightened and that he has halted all immigration procedures for Afghan citizens, including those who had worked with US forces.
He has also threatened to "permanently" block immigration from what he has called "Third World countries," though without specifying which states these would be.
"I recommend a total travel ban to all countries that have been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and welfare addicts," Noem wrote in a post on the social network X. "Our ancestors built this nation with blood, sweat, and an unwavering love for freedom, not for foreign invaders to massacre our heroes, drain our hard-earned taxes, or take away the benefits owed to Americans. We don't want them."
