The medium indicates that this situation will be maintained “indefinitely”, until government officials complete the process to identify “possible fraud cases and improve research procedures that mitigate concerns related to national security and public safety.”
The media that in the memorandum dated February 14, Andrew Davidson, a senior official of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service, ordered an “administrative pause” in the agency for all “requests for pending benefits” presented by immigrants presented by immigrants favored by three biden administration programs.
That includes the beneficiaries of the CHNV program, known by Humanitarian Parole, used by about 530 thousand Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans to enter the United States thanks to the support of a sponsor.
Many of the 240 thousand Ukrainians who benefited from the Uniting For Ukraine program, implemented following Russia’s invasion to that nation will also be affected by the new measure.
The other program in Diana is the one that allows the reunification of citizens of Latin America and the Caribbean with a close relative with American citizenship.
The memorandum refers to investigations found by thousands of CHNV applications with “series sponsors”, information from deceased people or identical addresses.
Some migrants who were allowed to enter the United States under the CHNV “were not completely examined,” he adds.
Experts estimate that the measure could affect about one million people who used those ways to enter the United States under probation, and that they would seek to regularize their immigration situation temporarily or permanently.
The Biden Administration used these programs to discourage the illegal crossing of the southern borders of the country and direct the purpose of potential migrants to use legal formulas, which are prerogatives of the government.
Upon arrival at the White House, Trump canceled the application of these programs and suspended the extension Of some, steps that urge thousands of migrants to look for alternatives to legally remain in the country.
Last month, federal immigration agents received guidelines to execute deportation, in some cases expedited, of those who entered American territory under some of the policies implemented by Biden.
In turn, the Trump administration has prepared plans to revoke the status of Parole To many of those admitted to the CHNV program.
Those who entered the United States under these programs obtained temporary work permits and deportation protections, usually for two years, so once that period had to leave the country.
