President Donald Trump has ordered the suspension of the US Green Card Lottery program following campus shootings near Brown University and MIT. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the decision, citing security reasons.

The Diversity Visa program, which provides 50,000 immigrant visas annually, is halted immediately. The move comes after reports of attacks that left two students and nine others injured.

Claudio Neve Valent, a 48-year-old suspect, was found dead. Noem expressed concerns about allowing suspects into the country through the visa program.

Further details on the duration and scope of the suspension are yet to be announced.
