BOSTON—President Donald Trump has taken decisive action by suspending the controversial green card lottery program that allegedly allowed the suspect behind the recent Brown University and MIT shootings to enter the United States.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the suspension, stating, “This heinous individual should never have been allowed in our country.” The diversity visa program, which annually provides 50,000 green cards through a lottery, is aimed at individuals from underrepresented countries, particularly in Africa.

In a shocking twist, nearly 20 million people applied for the 2025 visa lottery, with only 131,000 being selected, including spouses. Alarmingly, only 38 slots were awarded to Portuguese citizens, raising questions about how such a dangerous individual slipped through the cracks.

The incident has led to increased scrutiny on immigration policies, as critics claim that the vetting process for this program is flawed. This shocking revelation has ignited a firestorm of debate about national security and the integrity of immigration practices in the country.
