AREQUIPA, Peru – Following the circulation of an internal report exposing significant levels of fraud in the humanitarian parole program, the United States government has temporarily suspended travel permits for beneficiaries of the process.
As confirmed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to Fox News DigitalWashington suspended the permits “out of an abundance of caution.”
This temporarily halts the issuance of advance travel authorizations for the parole program, which allows up to 30,000 nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV) travel to the USA each month and legally enter into the administration’s parole if they meet certain conditions.
A source in the US Congress told the aforementioned media that the pause occurred in mid-July, after an internal report revealed large amounts of fraud in sponsors’ applications.
“The focus is on problems with sponsor submissions, not with submissions from program beneficiaries,” the report said.
