How will the Indians affect

The Trump Administration in the United States has suspended the processing of green card applications of refugees and asylians, as it continues to implement an immigration agenda. The processing of freezing would have an impact on the refugees already approved to come to the United States, as well as those who have been given asylum after they requested protection in the immigration court.

Moving is supposed to be part of the efforts of the white house to more aggressively in the US, the US, the US Internal Security Department (DHS), claiming that the break is necessary to perform two executive actions on the immigration signed by President Donald Trump. Orders are aimed at improving immigrant screening for potential fraud, public safety threats and national security risks.

“To better identify fraud, public safety or national security issues, USCIS (citizenship and immigration services) puts a temporary break for completing certain adjustments of status applications waiting for the completion of screening and additional verification for the potential identification of fraud CBS.

So far, the Trump administration has not offered any chronology for the moment when the processing of green books will restart, leaving thousands of uncertain migrants about their future in the United States.

What is a green book?

A green book, also known as permanent resident card (form I-551), is a document that allows a person to live and work in the US permanent. Is issued by USCIS.

Who will be affected?

The processing of green cards by the Trump administration is intended for those who seek refuge in the US, supporting persecutions in their origin countries.

The movement will have an impact on the refugees to whom they were given the entry into the US after an exhaustive process of security checks, medical projections and interviews that normally take years. It will also affect the Asylians – foreigners in the US, who are given protection by immigration judges or asylum officers.

Laura Collins, the director of the economic growth initiative of the Bush-Smu Institute, at the George W Bush Institute, told NBC News that refugees and Asylians have already undergone a verification process.

“There is a certain documentation that you have to provide as a refugee, as well as an ASIL. All these people who are approved for relocation or stay in the United States, because the United States government has already approved to be here,” Collins said.

While both groups are checked in detail, DHS said it would press a break on the request for permanent residence for “additional screening”.

Earlier, Trump officials claimed that the Bidenic refugee program was affected by fraud issues, and migrants who entered the US during Joe Biden’s presidency were “VAG checked.”

This movement is likely to leave thousands of immigrants granted refuge in the US, including Indians, in Limbo. After the verification process, an asylee must wait at least a year before being eligible to request a green book and therefore become a permanent resident of the US.

How will the impact of Indian migrants have?

Indian citizens are one of the largest migrant communities in the United States, with a population of over 2.9 million in 2023. The group is already experiencing some of the longest green card delays due to the country covers, and the processing is expected to aggravate the waiting time.

The data from Johns Hopkins University show that US Asylum seekers increased from 9,000 in 2018 to over 51,000 in 2023, an increase of 466 % in just five years.

Trump’s repression on immigration

The latest movement is part of Trump’s greater pressing to strengthen immigration policies, including millions of immigrant deportation plans. Since taking over the position for the second term, President Trump has restricted, has collected and, in some cases, suspended legal immigration procedures based on national security and fraud concerns.

Recently, at least five foreign and academic students, who participated in protests in support of Palestine at American universities, were targeted by immigration and customs application in the US, as part of the Government’s continuous repression on Palestinian support.

Also, the US government has taken measures against several other activists, including the student of Colombia University, Ranjani Srinivasan, who was self-discharged in Canada, and Indian researcher Badar Khan Suri, who faced deportation for alleged links with Hamas. Since then, a judge has blocked Suri’s deportation.

The Trump administration also closed asylum programs at the US-Mexico border and introduced the executive orders to strengthen immigration policies, some of them now challenged in court.

Meanwhile, US immigration officials also intend to examine and examine more the social media accounts of immigrants requesting legal status, including US citizenship, green cards and asylum. In the notification of March 5, Usice said that the social networks of asylum applicants, the applicants of green books and citizenship- and not only those who ask to enter the country- it is necessary for “improved identity verification, checking and screening national security”.

Trump’s executive orders

According to DHS, the USCIS movement was made in alignment with a presidential executive order and a presidential action, both in terms of foreign terrorism.

In the presidential proclamations quoted by the officials, President Trump has asked federal agencies to “veterinarian and to screen to the maximum possible degree, all aliens who intend to be admitted, to enter or to be in the United States.”

Meanwhile, the executive order quoted by the officials has opened the way for DHS to designate Mexican cartels and bands such as Aragua train as foreign terrorist organizations.
