Miami, United States. – Donald Trump’s administration is preparing to annul the legal status of more than 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, who entered the United States thanks to the program of parole humanitarian driven by Joe Biden.
According to internal documents of the Department of National Security (DHS) to which he accessed CBS Newsthe program would be finished definitively with the revocation of the authorizations of those who have not requested or obtained another immigration benefit.
The plan contemplates that these migrants, admitted in the United States under the condition of having financial sponsors, go to deportation process if they lack asylum, permanent residence or Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Those affected would also lose the possibility of working legally, in accordance with the detailed proposal in unpublished documents. It is not yet defined when this massive revocation will be officially implemented.
The program of parole Humanitarian, introduced by the Biden administration, sought to deter irregular migration from the four countries mentioned by offering a legal entrance path. However, Trump’s White House suspended the initiative hours after the president assumed the position for the second time. The current administration officials have argued that the use of the figure of parole In this program constitutes an “improper use” of the authority to grant permission to entry and permit work.
Many of the beneficiary migrants have additional roads to avoid deportation. For example, “many Haitians and Venezuelans are registered in TPS, but this figure is also under Trump’s sights, since it considers it abused,” says the CBS report. The administration recently rescued an extension of the TPS for Citizens of Venezuela, which could be left in the uncertainty apart from this population.
The Cubans, meanwhile, have the possibility of adjusting their status to permanent legal residence thanks to the Cuban adjustment law. Meanwhile, immigrants from other nationalities can also request asylum, but must prove persecution for political, religious reasons or other reasons contemplated in US regulations.
Since the beginning of his mandate, Trump has tightened migratory policies, restricting both legal and irregular migration. The government has also stopped other plans established by Biden, such as the CBP One mobile application to manage asylum appointments in border ports.
