Donald Trump Rejects The Legal Status for 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Friday that it will rescind the temporary legal status of over 530,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who entered the United States through a Biden-era sponsorship program. According to a notice published in the Federal Register and signed by Homeland Security Chief Kristi Noem, this policy reversal marks the end of the two-year “parole” program, known as CHNV.
Under the CHNV program, which began in October 2022, individuals with financial sponsors were granted two-year work permits, allowing them to live and work legally in the U.S. However, the new policy states that these individuals will lose their legal status as of April 24. This decision directly impacts those already in the U.S. who relied on the humanitarian parole program.
The move follows an earlier decision made during the Trump administration to curtail what was described as the “broad abuse” of humanitarian parole. This program has historically been used to temporarily admit individuals from countries experiencing conflicts or political instability.
