The Trump administration has suspended the DV1 visa program, which allowed Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, the shooter involved in the Brown University incident, to enter the United States in 2017.

This decision was announced on December 19, 2025, as part of ongoing changes to immigration policies under the administration. The DV1 visa program has faced scrutiny in light of recent events, leading to its suspension.
