The Biden-era parole program for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela has been terminated by the Trump administration, affecting over half a million beneficiaries, with notices sent to leave the US or face enforcement actions, including detention and deportation.
The Department of Homeland Security has begun terminating the Biden-era CHNV parole program, which admitted over 500,000 poorly vetted individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, and is encouraging illegal aliens to self-deport with incentives like travel assistance and a bonus. The program's termination aims to restore public safety and enforce immigration laws.
The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to suspend a Biden-era parole program that provided temporary legal status to about 530,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, enabling expedited deportations despite ongoing legal challenges and dissent from liberal justices.
The US Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to temporarily revoke the legal status of over 500,000 migrants from countries like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, putting them at risk of deportation and halting a previous court order that protected their humanitarian parole.
Former President Donald Trump's claim that 325,000 migrants were flown into the US from unknown locations is misleading. The Center for Immigration Studies report cited by Trump refers to migrants who entered the US through public parole programs and CBP One appointments, not secretive flights. The Department of Homeland Security clarified that the programs are public and aimed at providing lawful pathways for vetted migrants, countering claims of a secret program. The Biden administration has utilized parole for urgent situations and to mitigate border surges, drawing criticism from Republicans for broad use of the authority.
A group of Democratic senators, led by Majority Whip Dick Durbin, have urged President Biden to allow states to sponsor noncitizens for work authorization in certain industries to expand the workforce. The senators noted that the US is facing major workforce shortages in multiple industries, and economists believe that two years of lost immigration amid the COVID-19 pandemic is responsible for almost half of the workers who are missing from the labor force. They added that congressional action to provide pathways to citizenship is “long overdue” but unlikely to happen in time to address the workforce needs.
