The Trump administration will suspend a green card lottery that allowed a man believed to be behind both a mass shooting at Brown University and the killing of an MIT professor into the United States.
Investigators said late Thursday that Claudio Neves Valente, a 48-year-old Portuguese man, was the gunman who burst into a building at the Ivy League school and opened fire on students, killing two and wounding nine over the weekend.
He also killed a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), with whom he had previously studied, two days later, according to police.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on social media on Thursday that Neves Valente entered the United States through the diversity lottery immigrant visa program in 2017 and was granted a green card.
