New Delhi, Nov. 28 -- US Citizenship and Immigration Services announced new vetting guidance for aliens from 19 high-risk countries after an Afghan national shot and injured two National Guard Service members.

The statement read, "In the wake of the shooting of two National Guard service members in Washington, D.C., Wednesday by an Afghan national, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued new guidance allowing for negative, country-specific factors to be considered when vetting aliens from 19 high-risk countries. This guidance comes after the Trump administration halted refugee resettlement from Afghanistan and the entry of Afghan nationals in its first year of office."
