Trump administration to force foreigners in the U.S. to apply for a green card abroad - NPR

The administration announced that most foreign nationals already in the United States who want lawful permanent resident status must leave the country and apply for green cards at U.S. consulates or embassies in their home countries, reversing the longstanding practice of adjusting status inside the U.S. The surprise change would require consular interviews abroad and could force family separations, loss of employment authorization, and longer processing delays. Alongside a separate proposal to allow rapid asylum denials without interviews, these measures reflect a broader policy push to restrict access to U.S. immigration benefits and are likely to face legal and political challenges.
