Trump Admin Pause Green Card Lottery Program Used By Brown Shooter

They know quite a bit about the Brown shooter so far

Claudio Manuel Neves-Valente identified as Brown University and MIT shooting suspect, found dead

Authorities have identified the suspect in Saturday’s mass shooting at Brown University, which left two students dead and nine injured during a finals week review session, as the same man believed to have carried out the murder of a renowned nuclear scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology days later.

His name is Claudio Manuel Neves-Valente, according to Providence police.

Neves-Valente, 48, was a Portuguese national and studied at Brown from the fall of 2000 to the spring of 2001 to study physics, according to Brown President Christina Paxson. But he went on a leave of absence and ultimately withdrew in 2003.

A motive, though, is unknown

Trump suspends green card lottery program that let Brown University, MIT shootings suspect into US

President Donald Trump suspended the green card lottery program on Thursday that allowed the suspect in the Brown University and MIT shootings to come to the United States.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a post on the social platform X that at Trump’s direction she is ordering the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to pause the program.

“This heinous individual should never have been allowed in our country,” she said of the suspect, Portuguese national Claudio Neves Valente.

Neves Valente obtained legal permanent residence status in 2017, U.S. attorney for Massachusetts Leah B. Foley said.

The diversity visa program makes up to 50,000 green cards available each year by lottery to people from countries that are little represented in the United States, many of them in Africa. The lottery was created by Congress, and the move is almost certain to invite legal challenges.

Is it a pause, or, are they trying to end it? She tweeted

In 2017, President Trump fought to end this program, following the devastating NYC truck ramming by an ISIS terrorist, who entered under the DV1 program, and murdered eight people.

At President Trump’s direction, I am immediately directing USCIS to pause the DV1 program to ensure no more Americans are harmed by this disastrous program.

They’ll probably try and pause it as long as they possibly can, then work to revamp the vetting after some lefty judge shrieks and Demands they restart it

Trump has long opposed the diversity visa lottery. Noem’s announcement is the latest example of using tragedy to advance immigration policy goals. After an Afghan man was identified as the gunman in a fatal attack on National Guard members in November, Trump’s administration imposed sweeping rules against immigration from Afghanistan and other counties.

Really? “Using a tragedy”?

• Brown professor at vigil talks about gun control after mass shooting
• How countries around the world have responded to mass shootings As the nation reels from the deadly shooting at Brown University and wrestles with why America can’t move past its gun culture

This list could keep going and going, not too mention all the ones about gun bans in Australia after the Islamists shot all the Jews in Bondi beach. And Rhode Island already has very strong gun controls, as does Massachussets
