Trump Administration Suspends Green Card Processing for Refugees and Asylees

The Department of Homeland Security cites additional vetting requirements, leaving thousands in legal uncertainty without a clear timeline for resolution.

The suspension affects refugees and asylees who have already undergone rigorous vetting processes before being admitted to the U.S.
The Department of Homeland Security has not specified the duration of the pause or which applications are affected, deepening uncertainty for applicants.
The move aligns with two executive orders signed by President Trump, emphasizing enhanced screening for national security and fraud prevention.
Advocacy groups and legal experts have criticized the decision as discriminatory, citing the extensive vetting already in place for affected groups.
This action is part of the Trump administration's broader effort to tighten immigration policies and restrict legal pathways for vulnerable populations.
