The agency wrote on Twitter: “Effective immediately, processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely pending further review of security and vetting protocols. The protection and safety of our homeland and of the American people remains our singular focus and mission.”
Trump, meanwhile, described Afghanistan as ‘a hellhole on earth’, and promised that his administration would review everyone who had entered the US from the country under President Joe Biden, a measure his administration had already been planning to put into motion prior to yesterday’s shooting.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this mindless attack.
