Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem recommended a “full travel ban” on potentially dozens of countries on Monday.
Noem said on Monday she had met with President Donald Trump and pushed for a travel ban on all countries that have “been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.” Noem’s move to crack down on foreign entry into the United States comes as the president has paused asylum claims from 19 countries after an Afghan national allegedly killed a National Guardsman in Washington, D.C.
“Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS,” Noem wrote in a <a href="https://x.com/Sec_Noem/status/1995642101779124476">post</a> on X. “WE DON&#8217;T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.”
Noem did not specify which countries would be included in the travel ban under her criteria.
Law enforcement says that Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal shot two National Guardsmen in D.C. last week. Lakanwal worked with U.S. forces in Afghanistan before coming to the United States during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan under former president Joe Biden.

Lakanwal applied for asylum in the United States last year, and his request was granted earlier this year under the Trump administration.
Noem deflected on Sunday when asked if the Trump administration vetted Lakanwal before granting him asylum. The Homeland Security secretary said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet The Press” that “vetting is happening when they come into the country, and that was completely abandoned under Joe Biden’s administration.”
Trump paused asylum claims from 19 countries last week, announcing the move in a pair of Truth Social posts on Thanksgiving. The countries included under the pause are Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. Those countries “of Identified Concern” were originally listed in a June 4 <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/06/restricting-the-entry-of-foreign-nationals-to-protect-the-united-states-from-foreign-terrorists-and-other-national-security-and-public-safety-threats/">executive order</a>.
The president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/we-dont-want-those-people-trump-defends-refugee-pause-declines-to-lay-out-timeline?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=%E2%80%98We+Don%E2%80%99t+Want+Those+People%E2%80%99%3A+Trump+Defends+Refugee+Pause%2C+Declines+To+Lay+Out+Timeline">said</a> Sunday that he would not put a time limit on the pause because “we have enough problems. We don’t want those people.”
