The United Nations has called on the United States to maintain access to asylum and ensure due process for migrants after President Donald Trump announced plans to halt migration from so-called 'Third World' countries. The move follows a shooting near the White House that investigators say was carried out by an Afghan national who entered the U.S. in 2021. Speaking in Geneva, U.N. human rights spokesperson Jeremy Laurence emphasized that asylum seekers are entitled to protection under international law. U.N. refugee agency spokesperson Eujin Byun reiterated that individuals seeking protection must be allowed entry and fair asylum procedures, noting that most refugees are law-abiding members of their host communities. The U.N. appeal underscores growing concern over the potential human rights implications of Washington’s proposed migration freeze and its impact on global refugee protection standards.
