Trump Administration Ends Legal Status for Over 530,000 Migrants from Four Nations

The decision terminates the CHNV parole program, urging migrants to self-deport within 30 days or face arrest and deportation.

The Department of Homeland Security announced the termination of the CHNV parole program, impacting 532,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
Migrants have until April 24, 2025, to leave the U.S. voluntarily or face deportation, as their two-year permits for legal stay and work will be revoked.
The Trump administration cited concerns over fraud and inconsistency with federal immigration policies as justification for ending the program.
Legal challenges against the program's termination have been filed, with advocacy groups arguing the decision is harmful to families and communities.
Deportation logistics remain uncertain, as countries like Venezuela and Nicaragua have refused to accept deportation flights, complicating enforcement efforts.
