- Trump has stopped accepting applications for migration to the United States from 19 countries. What the media is writing
US President Donald Trump has suspended accepting applications for immigration from citizens of 19 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Turkmenistan and Cuba. He also criticized migrants from Somalia, urging them to return to their country. How the world's media reacts to the latest decisions of the White House is in the Izvestia digest.
Axios: Trump administration suspends immigration applications from 19 countries
The Trump administration has suspended the processing of all immigration applications from 19 countries, which it has identified as "high-risk countries." This decision was another step to restrict immigration after an Afghan citizen was identified as a suspect in last week's deadly shooting in Washington, which wounded National Guard soldiers.

The suspension <...> affects people from countries that have already faced travel restrictions due to the June executive order signed by President Trump, including Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, Somalia and Venezuela. Other countries: Burundi, Chad, Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Laos, Libya, Myanmar, Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Togo, Turkmenistan and Yemen.
Each applicant from these countries must "undergo a thorough re-screening procedure, including a potential interview and, if necessary, a re-interview, in order to fully assess all threats to national security and public safety." Last week, Trump said he would "permanently suspend migration from all third world countries," but his administration did not immediately specify which countries this would apply to.
The New York Times: Trump called Somalis "garbage"
Trump has launched a tirade against Somali immigrants, calling them "trash" whom he does not want to see in the United States. This happened against the background of the launch of a new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation against Somalis in the Minneapolis metropolitan area. During a cabinet meeting, Trump said that migrants were only complaining.

"When they come out of hell, complain, and do nothing but complain, we don't want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix everything," Trump added, and Vice President Jay Dee Vance slammed the table in support. [Trump] said that Somalia "stinks, and we don't want them in our country." He called MP Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, who came to the United States from Somalia as a refugee and became a citizen 25 years ago, "garbage."
Trump has significantly toughened his anti-migrant stance after an armed man, whom authorities identified as an Afghan citizen, shot dead two National Guard soldiers in Washington last week. Since Mr. Trump took office for the second time, his administration has closed the country to refugees from all over the world, including Somalis, reserving a limited number of places for predominantly white South African citizens.
Reuters: Minnesota officials protect Somali community
Officials in Minneapolis said they were not aware of any upcoming federal immigration raids targeting the Somali community, which has been under attack from Trump in recent days. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said that regardless of whether ICE raids are carried out, local authorities will provide all possible support to the Somali community.

Frey, a Democrat, said local police would not cooperate with federal immigration agents, and he sharply criticized Trump's recent attacks on the Somali community, including on Tuesday when the president called them "garbage" and said, "We do not want their presence in our country."
There are about 80,000 Somalis living in Minnesota, mostly in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area. Frey noted that this community has provided economic and cultural benefits to the region and has been living in the United States for several decades. According to Frey, the vast majority of Somalis in the United States are citizens of the country, and he is convinced that any immigration measures will detain people who are in the country legally.
NBC News: Venezuela will continue to accept deportation flights from the United States
Flights operated by the United States to return deported migrants to Venezuela will continue, despite Trump's statement that the airspace of the South American country should be considered closed. The government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has announced that flights operated twice a week will be resumed at the request of the Trump administration. This reverses the Venezuelan government's statement that the US immigration authorities have unilaterally suspended flights.

The flight and landing application, submitted on Monday by the American airline Eastern Airlines, contains a request for permission to arrive on Wednesday. The application was made public on Tuesday by the Venezuelan Foreign Minister [Ivan Hill Pinto]. Venezuelans have been regularly deported to their homeland this year after Maduro, under pressure from the White House, reversed his long-standing policy of not accepting deportees from the United States.
Immigrants regularly arrive on flights operated by U.S. government contractors or Venezuela's state-owned airline. More than 13,000 immigrants returned to the country this year on charter flights, the last of which arrived on November 28. Flights continue despite US military strikes on vessels suspected of drug smuggling in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and off the coast of the Caribbean Sea of Venezuela.
