NYT: The USA has suspended immigration programs for refugees from Ukraine and other countries.


The U.S. Department of Homeland Security requires the suspension of the processing of applications for immigration programs, including for Ukrainians.
According to The New York Times, this order is contained in a letter from the head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The suspension applies to various programs that allow immigrants to temporarily stay in the U.S. In addition to Ukraine, these programs also concern Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela.
According to the government, under the 'Uniting for Ukraine' program, over 150,000 Ukrainians arrived in the U.S. by September 2023. The program that allowed more than 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, and Nicaragua to enter the country if they had financial sponsors has also been suspended.
The Trump administration had already closed the program that allowed migrants to enter through checkpoints using the CBP One app. The processing of applications for the family reunification program and initiatives for minors from Central America with relatives in the U.S. has also been suspended.
