Extra: The Alarming Gaps in America’s Immigration Vetting System
The Trump administration is ready to roll out new limits on asylum seekers, refugee processing, and even green card reviews after a suspected radicalized Afghan national was charged in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C.
President Trump and Homeland Security officials say the move is part of an effort to tighten vetting and shift the burden of proof for those already in the U.S., including refugees admitted during the Biden years.
Ken Cuccinelli, former USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) director and current Senior Fellow for Homeland Security, joined host Jessica Rosenthal on the Rundown this past week to explain what these new rules mean for Afghan refugees and the other 19 travel ban countries.
Cuccinelli described the vetting system as needing improvement, saying that certain migrants from certain countries cannot be effectively vetted and should not be allowed into America. And in some cases, if they’re already here, they should be deported.
We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.
Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Ken Cuccinelli, former USCIS director.
