Golpe migratorio tras el ataque en Washington: Trump reduce permisos laborales y apunta a refugiados
El gobierno de Estados Unidos anunció una nueva disposición migratoria que cambia por completo la duración de las autorizaciones de empleo otorgadas a refugiados, solicitantes de asilo y otros migrantes.
TL;DR
- U.S. immigration policy now limits employment authorizations for refugees, asylum seekers, and those with suspended deportation to 18 months, down from five years.
- The decision follows recent immigration crackdowns and an attack by an Afghan national on National Guard members.
- The Afghan attacker had his asylum request approved under the Biden administration but was set to receive it in 2025 under Trump's mandate.
- Joseph Edlow, USCIS director, stated the reduction is a response to the attack and aims to increase verification of foreign nationals' backgrounds.
- The measure impacts refugees admitted to the U.S., those granted asylum, and individuals with suspended deportation.
