President Donald Trump ordered the Department of Homeland Security to bolster the vetting of immigrants coming into the U.S. after an Uzbek man allegedly drove a truck down a bike path in New York, killing eight and injuring almost a dozen more.
"I have just ordered Homeland Security to step up our already Extreme Vetting Program. Being politically correct is fine, but not for this!," the president said in a Twitter post Tuesday night.
