The US Suspends Accepting Immigration Applications

For citizens of Latin America and Ukraine.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has suspended the review of all immigration applications submitted by citizens of Latin America and Ukraine who were allowed entry under programs under former President Joe Biden. The initiators cite fraud and security concerns.

This is reported by CBS News.

The suspension of applications will last indefinitely while officials work to identify potential fraud and improve screening procedures for reasons of national security and public safety.

The publication notes that this move, which was not previously reported, threatens to create uncertainty for migrants who were in the process of applying for various immigration benefits that would allow them to remain in the United States legally, and in some cases, permanently.

While the exact number of migrants affected is unknown, the suspension affects several Biden administration programs that have allowed hundreds of thousands of foreigners to come to the U.S. legally under immigration law. The law authorizes the U.S. government to quickly admit foreigners on humanitarian or public benefit grounds.

As CBS reports, the Biden administration has used the law on a large scale, in part to encourage migrants to register for legal immigration channels rather than illegally crossing the southern border.

The Trump administration quickly suspended those efforts, arguing that it was an abuse of authority.
