Trump's immigration crackdown also targets legal ways to enter the U.S.
Read Original Source
Washington — The Trump administration's swift crackdown on immigration has moved beyond those living in or entering the U.S. illegally, with officials also issuing bans and restrictions on legal immigration, including programs for refugees displaced by violence. President Trump made getting tough on illegal immigration a pillar of his presidential campaign, and he has already enacted far-reaching measures targeting those who violated U.S. immigration law. They include sealing the U.S.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Trump’s immigration crackdown is also limiting legal entry paths, including refugee admissions, parole programs, and other vetting systems.
Key Points:

- Officials also stopped or limited parole programs used by Ukrainians, Afghans, Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans.
- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ordered changes that could cause some people with parole status to lose legal permission to stay.
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement was authorized to revoke some parole status and seek deportations, while other legal entry programs were shut down.
