President Donald Trump on Sunday said his administration's halt on asylum processing in the wake of the deadly National Guard shooting earlier this week could last "a long time" and floated the possibility of revoking citizenship from some naturalized immigrants with criminal histories.

While the administration has framed the asylum freeze as an emergency response to Wednesday's shooting, the president's comments to reporters aboard Air Force One suggest the restrictions could evolve into a longer-term approach.
