US suspends number of migration programs, including for Ukrainians: Reports

Washington, Jan 25 (UNI) The United States Department of Homeland Security has ordered to suspend a number of programs that allowed migrants, including from Ukraine, to enter and temporarily reside in the US, the New York Times reported, citing a directive from a senior official of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The directive calls for an immediate pause to final decisions on applications related to the programs amid a review by the new US administration that could order their termination, the New York Times said.
