3. DHS terminates humanitarian parole for 500K immigrants
In a statement Thursday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced it is issuing notices of termination to over 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela paroled into the country in 2022 during the Biden administration.
The termination notices informed the individuals that they were ordered to leave the country and that their authorization to work in the U.S. had been revoked. The parole program was created under the Biden administration to reduce border crossings and offer a legal pathway for people fleeing a humanitarian crisis.
DHS Deputy Secretary Tricia McLaughlin expressed concern with the vetting process used for the humanitarian parole program and said ending the humanitarian parole program "as well as the paroles for those who exploited it" would be "a necessary return to common-sense policies, a return to public safety, and a return to America first." McLaughlin claims the Biden Administration "lied to America."
"They allowed more than half a million poorly vetted aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and their immediate family members to enter the United States through these disastrous parole programs; granted them opportunities to compete for American jobs and undercut American workers; forced career civil servants to promote the programs even when fraud was identified; and then blamed Republicans in Congress for the chaos that ensued and the crime that followed," she added.
The notices of termination came after Trump canceled the parole program, and the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the administration's decision on May 30.
Refugee resettlement advocates criticized the move, saying it will have a significant impact on immigrants who have played by the rules and communities that have supported them.
