Former US President Donald Trump has declared a significant shift in American immigration policy, vowing to impose a permanent ban on migration from what he termed 'Third World Countries'. This announcement comes in the wake of a shooting incident in Washington DC.
Major Policy Shifts Announced on Truth Social
Outlining his plans on the social media platform Truth Social on 28 November 2025, Trump detailed a series of hardline measures. He stated his intention to permanently pause migration from a specific group of nations, framing it as a necessary action for national security.
Beyond the migration halt, Trump made several other sweeping promises. He declared he would end all federal benefits and subsidies to "noncitizens". This move could potentially affect access to various social programs for individuals without US citizenship.
Denaturalization and Deportation Plans
The proposed policy changes go further, targeting migrants who are already within the United States. Trump asserted that his administration would "denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility". This suggests a process of revoking citizenship from naturalized individuals under certain, broadly defined circumstances.
Furthermore, he pledged to deport a wide range of foreign nationals. The criteria for deportation would include anyone deemed a public charge, a security risk, or "non-compatible with Western civilization". The announcement, made in the context of the DC shooting, signals a potential drastic overhaul of US immigration law and its enforcement principles, focusing on national security and cultural assimilation.
