Tension Over Vetting Timelines
- Kristen Welker pressed that the suspect had prior CIA-trained vetting while serving with U.S. forces, questioning how asylum was later approved.

Pause Asylum Until Re-Vetting Is Complete
- The administration said it will pause migration from 'third world countries' until vetting standards are upgraded.
- Secretary Noem said asylum processing will resume only after the backlog is cleared and rigorous re‑vetting completes.
Remigration As Mass Enforcement Strategy
