The Trump administration is taking decisive action to end the Biden-era immigration parole program that allowed over 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua to enter and temporarily stay in the U.S. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has started issuing termination notices to these individuals, signaling that their legal stay and work authorization are officially over. This move follows a recent Supreme Court decision siding with the Trump administration to shut down the controversial policy.
Under President Biden’s program, migrants were granted two-year stays and work permits if they could find a U.S. sponsor. However, Trump officials have labeled it a misuse of executive power that compromised national security. They argue that the parole system lacked proper vetting and enforcement, allowing mass migration with minimal oversight. DHS officials now claim that the program was not about compassion but about bypassing lawful immigration processes.
