President Donald Trump held his ninth Cabinet meeting Tuesday morning at the White House, where immigration enforcement and border security are expected to take center stage following a week of new directives from the administration.<\/p>\n

The meeting comes as the Department of Homeland Security pushes for what officials describe as a \u201cfull travel ban\u201d on select countries.<\/p>\n

The move follows the November 26 shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., by an Afghan asylee \u2014 an incident that prompted immediate policy action across multiple agencies.<\/p>\n

In the days since the attack, the State Department and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services have suspended visa processing and immigration benefit requests for Afghan nationals both overseas and inside the United States.<\/p>\n

The halt includes Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) for individuals who previously assisted U.S. military operations during the Afghanistan war, as well as other visa categories that had been exempted from the June 4 travel ban.<\/p>\n

Officials said the freeze took effect immediately and is being implemented across all affected offices.<\/p>\n

The administration has also directed a review of all green cards issued to individuals from the 19 countries covered under the travel ban, including Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran, Libya, and Yemen.<\/p>\n

The review will examine past issuances under the Biden administration to ensure full compliance with current national security standards. U.S. officials have not said how many cases will be reexamined or how long the process will take, but the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that new guidance for handling \u201cdiscretionary benefits\u201d is being prepared.<\/p>\n

Separately, asylum officers have been instructed to pause all pending affirmative asylum decisions nationwide until new vetting procedures are finalized. Defensive asylum cases in immigration court are not affected by the pause, but it effectively halts new asylum approvals by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.<\/p>\n
