The Trump administration is moving to close what it describes as a loophole that allows migrants to remain in the United States while awaiting permanent residency. On Friday, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced new guidance directing immigration officers to treat the transition from temporary nonimmigrant status to permanent immigrant status under Section 245(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act as a process that should generally take place outside the United States, according to a document obtained by the Daily Caller. (RELATED: An Incredible Share Of Migrant Households Use Welfare, Study Finds) Under the guidance, individuals seeking lawful permanent residency would typically be required to return to their home country, complete screening procedures and obtain an immigrant visa through the U.S. Department of State before reentering the U.S. as immigrants.

I followed the link in his article and ended up finding that this has nothing to do with Donald Trump starving kids, but more to do with loss prevention from states who states who can't be bothered with fixing their errors.

"Since the program's inception, SNAP has operated as an entitlement program, meaning anyone who qualifies is entitled to receive benefits, regardless of the program's overall cost or budget. However, starting in FY28, due to a change in the OBBBA, those benefit costs will be shifted away from the federal government and over to states, further straining state budgets. States will need to pay a share of SNAP food benefits ranging from five to 15 percent depending on their FY25 or FY26 payment error rate.

Payment errors are largely unintentional mistakes by state agencies or families, and a rigorous quality control process ensures that errors are minimized. States with an error rate of six percent or higher must pay five percent of benefit costs, with the state's share increasing up to 15 percent as its payment error rate increases. All states, with the exception of South Dakota, have had an error rate above six percent at some point in the last two decades. Were error rates to be similar to FY24, we could expect 42 states, including the District of Columbia, to face at least a five percent cost-shift. Instead of assisting states in lowering their error rates, the OBBBA cuts administrative funding and punishes states for such mistakes. These impacts will be felt across the country, from conservative states like Oklahoma to more liberal states like Connecticut"
