Trump Halts Green Card Lottery After Shooting Suspect's Entry

  • US President Donald Trump has suspended the green card lottery program.
  • The decision follows the entry of the Brown University and MIT shooting suspect, Claudio Manuel Neves-Valente, through the program.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the pause, stating the suspect "should never have been allowed in our country."
  • The Diversity Visa Program grants up to 50,000 green cards annually to underrepresented countries; India is currently ineligible.
  • Suspect Neves-Valente, a 48-year-old Portuguese national, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Why It Matters: Trump suspends the green card lottery after a shooting suspect, who entered via the program, was identified.
