Department of Homeland Security says it is pausing review of green card applications for some refugees and asylees.

The directive would impact refugees already approved to come to the United States , as well as those granted asylum after petitioning for the protection in immigration court.

DHS said it would press pause on those seeking to become lawful permanent residents for “additional screening”.
