"Biden Administration Deploys Troops and Approves Secretive Flights to Address Migrant Crisis at US-Mexico Border"

The Biden administration's CBP One parole program has allowed over 200,000 migrants from four countries to fly directly into U.S. airports, bypassing the border. The program, which permits inadmissible aliens to make appointments and fly to interior ports of entry, has been shrouded in secrecy, with little information released by the administration. The data obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request shows that Venezuelans, Haitians, Cubans, and Nicaraguans have used this direct-flight and parole program extensively over the past year. The administration has redacted and withheld information about the receiving airports, citing law enforcement concerns. The lack of transparency raises questions about the administration's border management strategy and the impact of these flights on U.S. cities.
