The Trump administration is implementing an indefinite suspension of immigrant visa processing for 75 countries, significantly limiting legal immigration routes to the United States.

• The order will take effect on January 21, with the full list of 75 countries yet to be released.
• Principal Deputy spokesperson Tommy Pigott stated the move aims to prevent immigrants from becoming a "public charge" and exploiting U.S. welfare and public benefits.
• The suspension applies to immigrant visa applications but specifically excludes non-immigrant, temporary tourist, or business visas.
