HIAS, an aid group that provides services to refugees and other immigrant groups, said USCIS is forcing survivors of human trafficking, as well as abused and neglected children, to return to the dangerous countries they fled to process their applications for a green card that grants permanent U.S. residency.

The policy change announced this Friday is the latest in a series of measures adopted by US President Donald Trump over the past year to toughen immigration to the United States.

Last year, the Trump administration decided to reduce the duration of visas for students, cultural exchange participants and media professionals.

In January, the State Department announced that it had revoked more than 100,000 visas since Trump took office the previous year.
