The security of the American people is the Trump administration’s highest priority, said acting US Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke, AlHurra channel reported.
"These improved vetting measures are essential for American security,” said Duke. “These new, standardized screening measures provide an opportunity for the United States to welcome those in need into our country, while ensuring a safer, more secure homeland.”
US President Donald Trump allowed the resumption of refugee admissions into the US under new stricter screening rules but ordered nationals from 11 countries believed to pose higher risk to U.S. national security to face even tougher scrutiny.
Trump issued his new order on refugee screening as the administration’s four-month ban on refugee admissions expired. It directs federal agencies to resume refugee processing, which he clamped down shortly after taking office.
