Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that she recommended a “full travel ban” to President Trump during a Monday meeting.
“I just met with the President. I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that’s been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies,” Noem said Monday on the social platform X.
“Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS,” she continued. “WE DON’T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.”
In the wake of the shooting of two West Virginia National Guard members in Washington, D.C., last Wednesday, the Trump administration has annoucned a reneweed crack down on migration.

Andrew Wolfe, is Aghan national who entered the country in 2021 via a program for those who assisted the U.S. during its two-decade war in the Middle Eastern nation.
