An Evangelical humanitarian organization has condemned a Trump administration policy memo that could require many immigrants who entered the United States lawfully to leave the country while seeking lawful permanent residence.
World Relief, a Christian humanitarian organization that is authorized to resettle refugees in the U.S., said the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ policy would affect people who entered lawfully with visas, humanitarian parole or tourist status and later became eligible for a green card, often through a U.S. citizen spouse, parent or adult child.
