WASHINGTON —

The Trump administration announced a stop to all asylum decisions and halted visa issuances for people traveling with Afghan passports, following the deadly shooting involving two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. last week.

The attack left Air Force Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe in critical condition and U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom dead. Investigators say the suspect, an Afghan national who entered the U.S. legally in 2021 and worked with the CIA, faces a first-degree murder charge. Investigators have not provided a motive for the attack.

President Donald Trump said he was also considering halting migration from so-called “third world countries,” saying that a tougher stance is necessary to protect the country.

“We don’t want those people. Does that make sense?” Trump said. “Why we don’t want them? Because many have been no good and they shouldn’t be in our country.”

According to the Associated Press, the suspect experienced long stretches of isolation, had trouble holding a job, and struggled to adapt to life in the U.S. A warning about his behavior was reportedly sent well before the shooting.

In an interview Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed she believed the suspect was radicalized in the U.S., possibly by his own family or community.

While her hometown community mourned her death over the Thanksgiving holiday, Trump says he’s invited Beckstrom’s family to the White House.
