According to her, back in 2017, President Donald Trump advocated ending the programme after the terrorist attack in New York: an ISIS terrorist who arrived on a DV1 visa drove a truck into a crowd of people, killing eight.
On Trump's orders, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) was instructed to immediately suspend the DV1 programme to prevent a threat to public safety. The duration of the suspension and further decisions have not yet been specified.
