In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy.

White House Reviewing Fiancée Visa Program in Shooting Aftermath

HeadlineDec 11, 2015

The White House meanwhile says it is reviewing the nation’s fiancée visa program in the aftermath of the San Bernardino killings. Shooter Tashfeen Malik entered the U.S. from Pakistan last year under a visa that allowed her to marry her husband and fellow shooter, Syed Farook. On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters that while President Obama won’t halt the program, it is now under review.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest: “The fact that this person entered the United States and then carried out an act of terrorism on American soil, I think, is reason enough to take a look at the program. And that’s exactly what the president has ordered.”
