Donald Trump has said he will “permanently pause migration from all third world countries” a day after two national guard members were shot in Washington DC in an attack that has become a political flashpoint in the president’s ongoing crackdown on immigration. Earlier in the night, Trump announced the death of Sarah Beckstrom, one of the two national guard members shot in the attack close to the White House on Wednesday. A second national guard member, Andrew Wolfe, 24, is still fighting for his life, according to the president. National guard troops have been positioned across Washington DC since August, when the Trump administration declared a “crime emergency” and ordered them in to support federal and local law enforcement. Soon after the shooting on Wednesday, Trump said he would send 500 more national guard troops to Washington DC.
