Homeland Security Secretary suspends US green card lottery after Brown shooting. The suspect, a Portuguese man, entered through the DV1 visa program and was granted a green card. President Trump halted the visa scheme to prevent further harm, linking similar incidents like the New York truck-ramming attack in 2017. Neves Valente, the main suspect, was found dead with firearms, linked to the shooting at Brown University.
