Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) criticized President Donald Trump’s pause on immigration as evidence that the president “doesn’t want brown people in the country.”

Kelly appeared on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, days after an Afghan national allegedly opened fire on two National Guard soldiers in the District of Columbia. After one of the soldiers, Sara Beckstrom, 20, died from her injuries , Trump announced he would pause migration from “third-world” countries and deport foreign nationals “non-compatible with Western Civilization.”
