Trump halts US green card lottery over security fears

The Trump administration has suspended the United States Diversity Immigrant Visa Programme, widely known as the green card lottery, citing security concerns after recent deadly shootings. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that, on President Donald Trump’s directive, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services has been ordered to pause the programme.​ The Diversity Visa scheme offers up to about 50,000 permanent resident visas each year to people from countries with historically low levels of immigration to the US, many of them in Africa. Beneficiaries are selected through an electronic lottery and can later apply for full green cards and, eventually, citizenship.​ Officials linked the suspension to an ongoing investigation into shootings at Brown University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where the suspected gunman is reported to have entered the US through the lottery programme and later obtained permanent […]

US halts immigration applications from 19 countries

The United States government has announced a temporary halt to immigration applications from 19 countries, citing security, documentation, and cooperation concerns with the affected states.​ US officials said the move targets countries that have failed to meet required standards on identity verification, information sharing, or the repatriation of their citizens who are ordered to leave the US.​ The suspension affects several categories of immigration, including some family-based, work-related, and other visa programmes, although limited exemptions may apply for humanitarian or urgent cases.​ Authorities stressed that the measure is under ongoing review and could be lifted once the listed countries improve cooperation on security checks, travel documents, and migration management.​ Governments of the affected nations have been formally notified and urged to work with US agencies to resolve outstanding issues and restore full immigration processing as soon as possible.

Officials said most of the cases involved crimes such as assault, burglary, and driving under the influence, while about 200–300 visas were cancelled under terrorism-related provisions of U.S. immigration law. The move comes as President Donald Trump’s administration intensifies its immigration crackdown, with international students among those targeted. Some students who participated in pro-Palestinian protests were accused by officials of engaging in antisemitic behavior. Earlier this year, the administration temporarily halted student visa appointments, later resuming them with stricter screening rules.
