What happened to immigration applications for migrants seeking to stay legally in the US?

Many migrants were applying for asylum, green cards, or other benefits like temporary protective status that would allow them to stay permanently and legally in the United States. However, these applications have now been suspended by immigration authorities. As a result of this policy change, hundreds of thousands of migrants primarily from Latin America and Ukraine are effectively in legal limbo. Their pathways to permanent residency have been halted, leaving them uncertain about their immigration status and future in the country.
