Trump Orders Green Card Audits, Forgets Where He Put His Own Passport
KEY POINTS
- â˘President Trump ordered a full-scale reexamination of every Green Card from every 'country of concern' after a DC shooting incident.
- â˘The suspect in the Wednesday attack was identified as an Afghan national, prompting USCIS to suspend Afghan immigration applications immediately.
- â˘The 19 countries subject to these restrictions were detailed in Trump's June 4 proclamation targeting foreign terrorists and other security threats.
- â˘USCIS Director Joseph Edlow declared that protecting American safety is paramount and rejected prior administration policies as reckless.
On a Thursday that surely had Washington DC officials scrambling more than a lost Amazon delivery, USCIS Director Joseph Edlow announced President Trump's fresh green card reinvestigation sweep aimed at 'every country of concern.' This comes hot on the heels of Wednesdayâs D.C. shooting where an Afghan national critically injured two West Virginia National Guard troops, sparking Trump's declaration to slam the immigration door shut. The immigration agency immediately yanked all Afghan applications mid-Thursday nightâa move as subtle as a clap in a library. Trump's infamous June 4 proclamation lists 19 countries, including Afghanistan, Burma, Haiti, and more, with restrictions ranging from 'full lockdown' to 'partial timeout.' Edlow's X proclamation stressed American safety is ânon negotiable,â apparently unless there's a flight to catch or a golf tee time.

Apparently the new immigration strategy is âOne Afghanistan incident = Everyoneâs under a microscope.â Welcome to due diligence by guilt by association.
Suspending immigration apps at midnight because nothing screams national security like surprise bedtime announcements and the phrase âcountries of concern.â
