The WSJ learned about Trump's intention to expand migration restrictions to 19 countries

US President Donald Trump said he intends to implement a large-scale "reverse migration" program and instructed the Department of Homeland Security to expand the list of high-risk countries and tighten control over all migration procedures after the shooting in Washington. This was reported on November 28 by The Wall Street Journal.

"I will permanently suspend migration from all third world countries to allow the American system to fully recover," Trump said, stressing that only "reverse migration" can restore security to American cities.

The Agency is already finalizing a set of measures, including expanding the list of restrictions for 19 countries considered to be at high risk.

The ministry notes that it is a question of reviewing the entire system of admission of foreigners, including strengthening biometric verification, automatic reopening of suspicious migration cases and the temporary suspension of the issuance of certain categories of visas.

The agency emphasizes that the measures are aimed at "maximizing the reduction of migration risks," and the revision of procedures will affect both new applicants and those whose documents were approved earlier. The Trump administration believes that comprehensive reform will create a "structurally more secure system" capable of preventing the recurrence of such incidents.

On November 26, a native of Afghanistan opened fire on National Guard soldiers in the center of Washington, about 300 meters from the White House, wounding two people. On the same day, one of the injured, 20-year-old servicewoman Sarah Beckstrom, died, while her 24-year-old colleague remained in the hospital.

Trump qualified the incident as a terrorist attack, ordering an investigation into the articles on the attack on a representative of federal law enforcement agencies and an article on terrorism. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said that in the event of the death of any of the victims, the case could be reclassified as a serious case.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Noem noted that the suspect arrived in the United States from Afghanistan in 2021 under the program for accepting Afghan refugees after the withdrawal of American troops.
