Overview

  • The Trump administration has revoked the CHNV parole program, ending temporary legal status for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
  • The decision impacts approximately 530,000 individuals who entered the U.S. under the Biden-era program aimed at reducing illegal border crossings.
  • Migrants have 30 days, until April 24, 2025, to self-deport or apply for another immigration benefit, such as asylum or a green card.
  • The Department of Homeland Security has announced plans to prioritize enforcement actions, including arrests and deportations, for those who fail to comply.
  • The administration is also considering similar actions for 240,000 Ukrainian parolees, signaling potential further shifts in U.S. immigration policy.
