The Trump administration has started denying pleas by non-citizens who are trying to extend their time in the U.S. in order to treat severe medical conditions.
Letters issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and obtained by ABC News, tell people applying for medical relief that agency offices,"no longer consider deferred action requests," except for members of the military.
"People are terrified and confused," Marino told ABC News."I don't know how people react to their government telling them to disconnect from lifesaving health care." USCIS, the agency in charge of legal immigration and processing visas, told ABC News that"this does not mean the end of deferred action" but rather that any requests must be submitted to a different agency, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is the department in charge of deportations.
