Overview
- The termination covers Family Reunification Parole programs for nationals of Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, and Honduras, along with their immediate family members.
- Parole will end on Jan. 14, 2026 unless an applicant’s Form I-485 was postmarked or e-filed by Dec. 15, 2025 and remains pending on Jan. 14, 2026.
- Employment authorization tied to FRP parole will be revoked upon termination, with DHS issuing individual notifications to affected people.
- Individuals without a lawful basis to stay are instructed to depart before their termination date, report intent to leave via the CBP Home app, and may qualify for incentives such as an exit bonus, travel-document assistance, and civil fine forgiveness.
- DHS frames the move as addressing national security and fraud risks and a return to "America First," while separate reporting by Fox News says the administration is also ending TPS for Ethiopia.
