What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

The Trump administration has tightened the employment-based green-card pipeline for technology and outsourcing companies. Furthermore, the administration proposed a change to the public charge rule, allowing basic government benefits to be used against applicants seeking a green card. Separately, the administration has narrowed the scope of asylum claims, leading to more asylum applications being sent to immigration courts.
