Trump Administration Plans to Revoke Biden-Era Legal Protections for Migrants

Over 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela face potential deportation as the Trump administration moves to end a key Biden-era immigration program.

• The Trump administration is preparing to revoke legal status granted under the Biden-era CHNV program, impacting over 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
• The CHNV program allowed migrants to enter the U.S. legally with American sponsors, obtain work permits, and temporarily reside in the country.
• Trump officials argue the program misused immigration parole authority by applying it on a large scale, contrary to its intended purpose.
• Migrants losing their parole status who have not secured another legal pathway, such as asylum or Temporary Protected Status, may face deportation proceedings.
• The Department of Homeland Security has authorized expedited removal procedures, which could fast-track deportations for those affected by this policy shift.
