Trump government suspends visa lottery linked to Brown University suspect

Dec 21, 2025

Washington [US], December 21: The administration of President Donald Trump has announced it will halt the visa lottery programme that allowed the suspect in the Brown University shooting to enter the United States. The lottery awards approximately 50,000 immigrant visas each year, according to the US government.
But Trump has long opposed the Diversity Immigrant Visa Programme, sometimes known as the DV Programme. On Friday, his secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, revealed that he had directed her to end the lottery immediately. She also identified the suspect as Portuguese national Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, who received his green card, a certificate for permanent residency, through the lottery in 2017. (Agencies)
