"Trump to Suspend Immigration from Developing Nations, Targeting 'Third World Countries'"
In a shocking move, President Trump announced on Thursday that he plans to suspend immigration from developing nations, citing the need for the US system to "fully recover." The declaration comes in the wake of a deadly shooting in downtown Washington D.C., where a National Guard member was killed and another critically wounded.
The president's statement, posted on Truth Social, singled out countries deemed "Third World" as the target of this pause. However, Trump did not specify which countries would be affected or when the move might take effect. The White House has been tight-lipped about the details, leaving many to wonder how this suspension will be implemented.
Trump's aggressive stance on immigration comes after a 29-year-old Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was detained in connection with the shooting. Lakanwal had been admitted to the US as part of a refugee program in September 2021 and had previously worked with the CIA before the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The president's vow to "terminate" the status of millions of migrants admitted under former President Joe Biden's administration has sparked concerns about the treatment of asylum seekers. Trump also announced plans to remove foreign nationals deemed a "security risk" or incompatible with Western Civilization, and end federal benefits and subsidies for non-citizens.
In a statement to CBS News, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson confirmed that the White House is reviewing all asylum cases approved under the Biden administration. The Trump administration has already begun conducting a review of green cards for immigrants from 19 countries deemed "of concern."
As tensions rise over immigration policy, the nation remains on high alert following the deadly shooting in D.C. The full implications of Trump's declaration are yet to be revealed, but one thing is clear: the lives of millions of immigrants and asylum seekers hang in the balance.

. Trump's gonna suspend immigration from 'Third World Countries'? Are you kidding me? It sounds like a thinly veiled excuse to discriminate against folks just trying to make a living. I mean, what even is the criteria for these countries? Is it based on economic output or something? And what about the families who are already here with visas and green cards? Do they get left high and dry? 
The whole thing just reeks of xenophobia. And don't even get me started on the asylum seekers... poor Rahmanullah Lakanwal's got to deal with this drama now 
. Trump needs to focus on addressing the root causes of violence, not making it harder for people to come here and contribute to society 
. Instead of targeting specific countries, maybe we could work together with other nations to create safer, more stable environments for everyone 
.
. We need to be more inclusive, not divisive 
.
.
, like what even is 'Western Civilization' 
and xenophobic 
. suspending immigration from entire nations is just plain crazy talk 
. i'm worried about how this is gonna affect people who are already struggling to make ends meet 
. something doesn't add up 
. what's next? targeting specific ethnic groups or nationalities? 
newsflash: most of those countries are struggling to survive as it is, and now they need our help? 
. Can't we find a way to balance security with compassion and understanding? 
It sounds like Trump is being super vague on purpose. What if he suspends immigration from countries that are actually helping the US in some way? 
And what's with this 'Western Civilization' thing? Is he trying to say that immigrants from non-Western countries aren't part of that? That's just weird... 
Can anyone tell me more about how this is going to work in practice? 
Asylum seekers are already struggling so much, this move could push them even further into darkness... 
It's not just about the people in danger, it's also about the economic impact this will have on the US... 
. but the way he's going about it feels super heavy-handed and xenophobic 
. what if these asylum seekers are actually fleeing war or persecution? do we really want to shut the door on them?
.
. Shouldn't we be focusing on helping people like him rather than shutting the door on everyone else? 
a 29-year-old afghan national was detained in connection with the shooting and now trump wants to suspend immigration from entire developing nations? it's like he's linking all these countries together and saying they're all responsible for one bad apple 
newsflash, that's not how immigration works.
. Like, have you ever tried kimchi on a taco? Game changer, right? Anyway, back to Trump and immigration... I'm like, totally confused why he's targeting countries just 'cause they're developing nations. Don't they deserve some love too? And what's with this whole "Western Civilization" thing? Sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi movie 
. Can we talk about tacos for real now?
