The Donald Trump administration announced Friday the end of humanitarian parole, the revocation of temporary legal status for more than 530,000 Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan migrants, a measure that will become effective as of April 24.
With this decision, the current White House administration terminates the so-called “humanitarian parole” granted during Joe Biden’s term to these people so that they could enter the country legally and stay here for a maximum period of two years.
Biden’s parole is a program that tried to curb irregular migration to the United States from the aforementioned countries and the provision that was just reported will put hundreds of thousands of people in an uncertain condition at the expense of eventual expedited removal if they do not have another legal status.
In that sense, it refers to an asylum application or Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which are both protections against deportation.
On Tuesday, March 25, the Federal Register will publish a notice about the program, known as CHNV (initials of the affected nations), for “parolees without a legal basis to remain in the United States” after the plan ends to leave the national territory before their entry authorization expires.
Like other orders of the president, this one could also be challenged in court by immigration lawyers, according to reports in local media.
Migrant advocates say Trump‘s decision brings to the fore a harsh reality, as it is not about deporting criminal or undocumented migrants, but goes further because it will strip legal status from those who entered the United States in a regular and orderly manner.
