28.11.2025 ⇢ The Day Guard Member Sarah Beckstrom Died, Trump Announced Migration Pause
⌨
US media heavily reported on November 28th that National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom died from her injuries after being shot in D.C. President Trump announced her death early in the day, linking it to the suspect, an Afghan national, and initiating a widespread focus on immigration policies.
Throughout the day, Trump's stance intensified as he vowed to "permanently pause" migration from "Third World Countries" and ordered a review of all green cards issued to Afghans and other countries of concern. Later, news emerged that the suspect would face a first-degree murder charge and had ties to CIA counterterrorism units. Towards the evening, Trump also announced the termination of executive orders signed by Biden using an autopen, threatening perjury charges for their "illegal" signatures.
