The Trump administration’s move to indefinitely suspend processing immigrant visas from 75 nations is not good for the country, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont said on Thursday.

President Donald Trump defended the military action, blaming the country’s leaders for drug trafficking and migration, while U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) rejected that claim, accusing Trump of intervening for oil.

In 2025, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong filed or joined 45 lawsuits against the Trump administration, including cases involving SNAP, Head Start, offshore wind and Planned Parenthood.

CBS is facing criticism for pulling a segment about an El Salvadorian holding center for migrants off 60 Minutes this weekend. Some of the heat is coming from Connecticut lawmakers.

The Trump administration has given states until next week to submit personal information about SNAP recipients — or risk losing federal funding for the program.

State Senator Saud Anwar, a medical doctor from South Windsor, posted a photo of himself holding a poster at the No Kings rally that said “cholesterol: do your job” with drawings of fast food. Online condemnation from national politicos was swift.
