Twenty years ago, Tom Mauser was sitting in a congressional gallery, two seats down from the first lady, and watching President Bill Clinton describe his son, Daniel, as “an amazing kid, a straight-A student, a good skier.” Daniel had, in the president’s words, been “gunned down at Columbine” the year before.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration announced Friday that it is curbing legal immigration from six additional countries that officials said did not meet security standards, as part of an election-year push to further restrict immigration.

When President Donald Trump delivers his third State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, Tom Mauser will be there in the gallery, wearing the shoes of his son, Daniel Mauser, who was killed in the 1999 Columbine shooting in Colorado.
