Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joseph Enloe posted on social media that his agency has, quote,

halted all asylum decisions.

The goal, he said, is to better screen people entering the country.

In addition, the State Department posted that it has, quote, immediately paused visa issuance for individuals traveling on Afghan passports.

Late Thursday night, President Trump posted that he wants to not only stop immigration from certain countries, but also to denaturalize some American immigrants who have become citizens.

These moves come after an Afghan man was accused of a Wednesday shooting in downtown D.C.

that left one National Guard member dead and another injured.
