Following the shooting of two National Guard members by an Afghan national, the Trump administration has introduced multiple immigration policy changes including pausing asylum decisions, reviewing green cards from "countries of concern," and suspending Afghan visas. These measures, criticized as collective punishment by advocacy groups, aim to enhance security screening for foreigners entering or residing in the United States.
