WASHINGTON — The U.S. government announced on Friday that it will suspend all asylum decisions following the attack against elements of the National Guard in Washington, D.C.
The director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Joseph Edlow, said in a post on the social network X that this will be paused “until we can ensure that every foreigner is investigated and examined to the fullest extent possible.”
Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Sergeant First Class Andrew Wolfe, 24, were hospitalized in critical condition after being shot on Wednesday afternoon near the White House. Trump announced on Thursday night that Beckstrom had died.
