It's March 30th.

I'm Cory with the story.

The Trump administration just announced they're restarting some asylum claims after slamming

the brakes on everything back in November.

This comes from U.S.

Citizenship and Immigration Services on March 30th, following a shooting where an asylum

seeker killed one National Guard member and wounded.

Another.

They're lifting the hold only for folks from non-high-risk countries who've been thoroughly

screened, but maximum betting stays in place for everyone.

That pause hit after the administration pointed fingers at Biden-era vetting slip-ups for

letting in the Afghan shooter.

It sparked a full immigration crackdown, freezing asylum proceedings nationwide.

Before the attack, they were already pushing hard in July, a travel ban dropped on citizens

from 12 countries, then expanded to 7 more right.

After the incident, with screening ramped up and bans locked in, this partial restart signals

they're easing back selectively while keeping borders tight eyes stay peeled.

For updates on those risk lists.
