Trump halts US green card lottery

News Update

President Donald Trump has suspended the green card lottery, that allowed Claudio Neves Valente come into US.

This decision was confirmed by the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem.

Noem noted that it was at Trump’s direction she is giving the directive for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to pause the program.

Valente, who is originally from Portugal, is believed to be responsible for shootings in Brown University and MIT.

The shootings left two students and nine others wounded.

Valente first arrived in the US with a student visa in 2000 and became a permanent resident 17 years later.

The 48-year-old has since been discovered dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

“This heinous individual should never have been allowed in our country,” Noem wrote on X.
