The Biden administration said on Friday it had temporarily put on hold a program that allows citizens of four countries to enter the U.S. on humanitarian grounds while it reviews vetting and screening processes for sponsor applications.The program is part of a Biden administration effort to increase legal pathways to the United States and discourage illegal border crossings but has been criticized by Republicans as overly permissive.
A DHS official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said new approvals had been halted since mid-July to strengthen screening and vetting, but that the application portal has remained open.The official said DHS pauses processing "fairly regularly" and expected the approvals to resume in the coming weeks.
