CBS: The U.S. has frozen one of its support programs for Ukrainian refugees.

As noted by "Current Time," the freeze affects several programs implemented during Trump's predecessor, Joe Biden, primarily the "Unity for Ukraine" initiative designed to support Ukrainian refugees. Under this program, approximately 240,000 Ukrainians entered the U.S. The CHNV program, which allowed 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to enter, has also been suspended, along with a program that enabled residents from certain countries with family members in the U.S. to enter the country and await their green card through family reunification.

According to CBS News, the decision impacts people who were already in the U.S. and had begun the process of obtaining documents to legally remain in the country. Under an internal directive from USCIS, these individuals will not even be able to submit applications for other immigration benefits.

The freeze will remain in effect indefinitely while USCIS conducts a thorough analysis of the programs and their participants.

After taking office on January 20, Trump declared a state of emergency at the southern border of the U.S. and shut down CBP One – the official mobile app launched during the Biden administration that allowed those seeking asylum to request a waitlist for entry through checkpoints from Mexico. This app was used by migrants from many countries, including Russia and Central Asian nations. The tightening of immigration policy was one of Trump's key campaign promises.
