A source with knowledge of the plans claims that the Trump administration is getting ready to remove the legal status of a large number of immigrants who came to the country via a Biden-era program, which could lead to a rise in the number of people who could be deported.
The action is anticipated to affect migrants from Haiti, Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua who entered the country under humanitarian parole during President Joe Biden’s administration and were allowed to temporarily dwell and work in the United States.
The program sent more than 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to the United States.
Other options that could shield them from deportation are available to some. According to the source, they might be deported if they haven’t taken any other legal actions to stay in the country.
It is the most recent in a string of actions taken by the Trump administration to revoke temporary protections for foreign nationals who are already in the country.
Republicans accused Biden’s administration of overstepping its bounds by using the humanitarian parole program. President Donald Trump issued an executive order requesting a parole review on his first day in office.
Biden administration officials asserted that by giving migrants a legal route into the nation, the so-called humanitarian parole authority contributed to a decrease in unauthorized border crossings. In order to participate in the program, migrants had to be sponsored in the United States, undergo screening and vetting, and obtain all requisite vaccines.
CBS News was the first to report on the initiative, which is currently undergoing finalization.
The humanitarian parole program brought in a large number of people who had been in the US for less than two years.
Officials from the Trump administration extended a process to speed up deportations to include undocumented immigrants from all around the country who are unable to provide proof that they have been in the country continuously for two years or longer.
Without a hearing before an immigration judge, immigration officials can remove someone under the accelerated removal method. Those migrants whose parole has been revoked may be immediately subject to deportation.
