The Department of Homeland Security said it has suspended processing of some legal permanent resident cards, commonly known as "green cards," for additional screening and verification.
The "green card" gives the holder important benefits, such as the opportunity to live and work legally and permanently in the US.
A DHS spokesperson told CNN that some green card applications that remain on hold are being submitted through the "adjustment of status" process. "To better identify fraud, public safety, or national security issues, USCIS is temporarily halting the completion of some Adjustment of Status applications while we conduct additional screening and verification," the DHS spokesperson said.
According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), adjustment of status is a process to apply for a “Green Card” for individuals who are in the U.S. legally and are eligible for certain categories, including foreign workers and family members, as well as refugees and asylees.
The move to halt the process for some status application adjustments is part of the US government's overall campaign to curb migration to the country.
The DHS spokesperson indicated that this move "is consistent" with an executive order and a presidential action that Trump issued from the first day of his second term.
