USCIS announced the suspension of processing immigration requests from Afghan citizens

The processing of immigration requests from Afghan citizens has been temporarily suspended. This was announced on November 26 by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

"The processing of all immigration requests concerning Afghan citizens is immediately suspended indefinitely pending further review of security protocols and verification," the agency wrote on its social network.

This decision was made after the terrorist attack at the White House.

The shooting at the White House was reported earlier in the day. It is noted that the health status of the victims remains unknown. White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt said Trump had been informed of the incident. The US police announced the arrest of a suspect in the shooting. It is specified that he acted alone. Vice President of the United States Jay Dee Vance announced the unknown motives of the shooter at the White House.

Later, Trump announced the critical condition of two National guardsmen after the shooting at the White House. Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth said he had sent an additional 500 National guardsmen to Washington after the shooting at the White House.

As Trump later said, the US Interior Ministry is confident that the attacker is an Afghan citizen who arrived in the United States in 2021 during the presidential term of the 46th US President Joe Biden.
