Trump Administration to Pause Immigration Applications from Countries on Travel Ban List
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration announced that it has paused green card and
U.S. citizenship processing for immigrants from 19 countries already
subject to a travel ban put in place earlier this year. This follows the
Trump administration's announcement that it was pausing all asylum
decisions for immigrants currently in the U.S., after an Afghan national
was charged with murdering a National Guard member and critically
injuring another in Washington, D.C., last week. He's pleaded not
guilty.
