""Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom-not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS," Noem said. "WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.""
"Context: It wasn't immediately clear which countries Noem would target, but White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News in a Monday night interview that Trump shared on Truth Social that the president had several months ago "announced a travel ban on 19 third-world and failed state countries around the world.""
"The big picture: Trump escalated his administration's hardline immigration crackdown after officials said the suspect in last Wednesday's ambush-style shooting in D.C. that killed one National Guard member and critically injured another was an Afghan national. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services last week announced a review of every green card holder from 19 countries of "concern," including Afghanistan, Iran, Sudan, Haiti and Venezuela, which Leavitt appeared to be referring to in her interview."
Kristi Noem urged widening a travel ban, asserting that Americans do not want foreign invaders who would drain taxes or take benefits. Karoline Leavitt said Trump previously announced a travel ban on 19 "third-world and failed state" countries and that Noem recommends expanding that list. Officials tied an intensified immigration crackdown to a D.C. ambush-style shooting by a reported Afghan national. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced a review of green card holders from 19 countries of concern, including Afghanistan, Iran, Sudan, Haiti, and Venezuela. The Department of Homeland Security said it will announce the official list soon.
