The Trump administration on Friday quietly started to implement new requirements that will make it much harder for undocumented immigrants to apply for green cards and apply for naturalization, according to a policy memo published by the White House.
The directive directs the immigration department to begin to suspend various public-facing government websites and programs—among them the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' webpage on naturalizing as an immigrant, the Green Card Lottery entry and exit program, and the Foreign Service Institute's Global Immigration Blog—as well as federal funding for many public and private entities, such as the State Department and the Congressional Research Service, that provide services and information to the country's undocumented immigrants.

Suspending the issuance of visas to foreign nationals in countries that do not meet visa waiver standards
Suspending eligibility for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to receive federal funds and federal grants in "the following categories and offices" (and "for the fiscal year 2017 and each succeeding fiscal year, pending further order of the Secretary of Homeland Security," according to the memo): the Office of Refugee Resettlement, the Office of Citizenship and Naturalization, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Office of Inspector General, the Office of Advocacy and Outreach and the Special Immigrant Visa program. Additionally, if the Homeland Security and Government Operations Subcommittee or Subcommittee on Border and Coast Security or subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism decides to recommend such action, the secretary of Homeland Security may "rescind, in whole or in part, the Secretary of Homeland Security's authority regarding issuing [green cards] under Section 243(a)(3) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1223(a)(3)."
