Well technically speaking, if you apply for an immigration benefit while being out of status, seek asylum for example, your appeal will most likely be rejected. And in the aftermath of such rejection, ICE will put your in deportation proceeding. Then you are in the pipeline. Whether or not you will benefit from the new policy is unpredictable. As someone mentioned earlier, most immigration lawyers and experts advise against voluntarily putting yourself in the pipeline. I'd say it's still early to assess the how the new policy will be implemented.

The only way to have benefited from this was to find yourself in deportation proceedings somehow. At this point, I don't think their is a way to get into deportation. Unless you commit a crime, in which case you will be deported.
