WASHINGTON, Dec 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is moving to clamp down on a visa program that aims to increase diversity after the suspect in an attack at Brown University was linked to it, the latest in a flurry of legal immigration restrictions in the past month.
Hours after news broke that the suspect was found dead in New Hampshire on Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a post on X that he was a Portuguese national who obtained permanent residence via the diversity visa lottery program. Noem said her department would pause processing of diversity lottery applications "to ensure no more Americans are harmed by this disastrous program."
