Overview

  • The Department of Homeland Security has begun sending termination notices to about 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, rescinding their parole status and work authorizations effective immediately.
  • The move follows a May 30 Supreme Court emergency order that upheld President Trump's decision to end the Biden-era CHNV parole program established in 2022.
  • Notices urge recipients to use the CBP Home mobile app for voluntary departures and offer federal travel assistance with a $1,000 bonus upon arrival in their home countries.
  • The original CHNV program granted two-year humanitarian parole and work permits to nationals of the four countries who passed security vetting and secured U.S.-based sponsorship.
  • Immigrant advocates, including Global Refugee, warn that mass revocations could spark severe humanitarian challenges for families stripped of legal status.
