President Trump announced on November 27, 2025 that he plans to suspend immigration from “Third World” or developing nations. He did not specify which countries would be affected or when the policy might begin.
The announcement came after a shooting near the White House on November 26, in which a National Guard member was killed and another critically injured.
In response to the incident, the Trump administration has aggressively questioned current immigration policies. The president said he would also:
- Terminate the status of millions of migrants admitted during the Biden administration
- Deport individuals not considered “net assets” to the U.S.
- End federal benefits for noncitizens
- Deport foreign nationals viewed as security risks or incompatible with Western Civilization
The administration also announced a comprehensive review of all green cards issued to immigrants from 19 “countries of concern,” including Afghanistan, Cuba, Haiti, Iran, Somalia, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, and Venezuela.
Additionally, DHS confirmed it is reviewing all asylum cases approved under the Biden administration and has already directed USCIS to reassess asylum cases from that period.
