US Orders Review of Green Cards from 19 'Countries of Concern'

The United States will review every green card holder from 19 nations. This action follows a recent attack on the US Capitol. The head of US Citizenship and Immigration Services announced the order on Thursday. He stated that President Donald Trump directed the agency to reassess its vetting procedures. The review will focus on permanent residents from countries the administration has labeled as "countries of concern." Officials did not immediately release the list of nations. The broad review aims to increase security measures for US permanent residency.
