The Trump administration paused the diversity visa lottery program after the suspect in the Brown University and MIT shootings entered the United States through the DV1 program. The pause was directed to immediately halt the DV1 program to prevent further harm to Americans. The diversity visa entry program provides about 55,000 visas annually to nationals of countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. The process includes an interview and medical examination. The Brown University suspect, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, entered in 2017 and received a green card. Valente was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a New Hampshire storage facility and has been linked to both killings.
