Trump Freezes All Immigration, Asylum Applications from 19 ‘High-Risk’ Nations
Neil Munro3 Dec 2025207
President Donald Trump’s deputies have shut down the legal migration pathways for people from 19 countries, pending the completion of security checks and interviews.
“The Trump Administration is making every effort to ensure individuals becoming citizens are the best of the best,” said the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency, which added:
We will take no chances when the future of our nation is at stake. The Trump Administration is reviewing all immigration benefits granted by the Biden administration to aliens from Countries of Concern.
The freeze is “unprecedented,” Michael Valverde, a former agency official, told CBS News. “The new guidance indicates that the immigration crackdown directed by Mr. Trump following last week’s shooting of the National Guard members is much broader in scope than previously reported,” the site reported.
