Ukrainians are blocked from entering the US: Trump limits humanitarian programs

The directive requires an immediate halt to final decisions on applications related to these programs.

The Trump administration has temporarily suspended the acceptance of applications for temporary entry programs to the United States, including “Uniting for Ukraine”.

The NYT writes about this.

This initiative has allowed more than 150 thousand Ukrainians to receive temporary asylum in the United States since September 2023 if they have financial sponsors.

“The decision provides for a review of all programs for compliance with the new criteria, in particular, the initiative for family reunification and support for children from Central America,” the article says.

Recall that a few hours after the inauguration, Donald Trump fulfilled his campaign promise by signing an executive order that abolished the right to citizenship by birthright.

Trump ordered that his order be carried out within 30 days. The new rules apply to children born in the United States to parents who are either illegally present in the United States or in situations where the mother is temporarily in the United States, such as on a visa, and the father is not a citizen.

In addition, Donald Trump signed an executive order suspending the entry of aliens attempting to illegally enter the United States through the southern border.

Trump also restricted provisions of immigration law that allow illegal immigrants to remain in the United States. It's about the right to asylum.

“The President has the authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act to prevent illegal aliens from physically entering the United States through the southern border,” the presidential administration said.
