Hundreds of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela face possible deportation next month as the U.S. moves to revoke their legal protections.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced it will revoke legal protections for hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, making them eligible for deportation in about a month.
The order affects approximately 532,000 people who entered the United States under a Biden-era sponsorship initiative known as CHNV, which aimed to create legal migration pathways. The program was suspended after U.S. President Donald Trump took office.
The new policy targets individuals already in the U.S. under the humanitarian parole program. It follows a prior Trump administration decision to end what it called “broad abuse” of humanitarian parole—a long-standing legal mechanism used by presidents to grant temporary entry to people from conflict-affected or politically unstable countries.
Migrants without a legal basis to remain have been warned to leave the U.S. before April 24, when their work permits and deportation protections will be canceled.
During his campaign, President Donald Trump pledged to deport millions of undocumented migrants. He is also considering revoking temporary legal status for roughly 240,000 Ukrainians who fled to the U.S. due to the war with Russia.
