Blinken Denies Unvetted Refugees, Trump Tightens Immigration

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken defends the vetting process of Afghan refugees, clarifying that none were brought directly to the U.S. without background checks. He explains the process involved moving vulnerable Afghans to lily pad countries for thorough screening before traveling to the U.S. Despite criticism from former Trump administration officials, Blinken asserts that the idea of tens of thousands of unvetted individuals entering the country is false. The shooting suspect, an Afghan national, underwent multiple rounds of vetting and had worked with the CIA for over a decade. Meanwhile, the Trump administration announces new, restrictive immigration measures. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered.
