The Trump administration has paused all immigration applications filed by people from 19 countries banned from travel to the US this year, halting green card and U.S. citizenship processing for them, according to a spokesman from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
President Trump used a public cabinet meeting to call Somali immigrants “garbage,” saying they did not belong in the US. Even for a president who has frequently made derogatory comments about immigrants, the rant was an alarming use of vulgarity from the White House against an entire community.
