The declaration came after a National Guard member was killed by an Afghan national. Trump also stated he would terminate the status of millions of migrants and reexamine green cards from 19 countries.

The detained suspect, who was admitted in 2021, had reportedly worked with the U.S. government in Afghanistan. A DHS official noted his asylum was granted during Trump's current presidency.

The WHO reports one-quarter of 2024's major measles outbreaks occurred in countries previously free of the disease, as global vaccination rates fail to recover to pre-pandemic levels.

In 2024, 59 countries experienced large outbreaks, with global cases rising 8% since 2019. The Eastern Mediterranean region saw an 86% increase, and cases in Europe grew by 47%, while Africa reported a significant decline.

First-dose vaccination coverage has dropped to 84%. This month, the Americas lost its measles-free status due to sustained transmission in Canada, highlighting the challenge of stalled immunization progress and misinformation.
