The Biden administration will not extend the humanitarian parole program that allowed over 115,000 Venezuelans migrate to the U.S. legally, CBS News reported on Thursday.
The program, known as CHNV, was launched in October 2022 to discourage unlawful immigration. It allowed applicants to enter the country provided a sponsor vouched to support them financially with a certain amount of funds. Three months later it was expanded to include migrants from Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua. This sponsor is meant to be responsible for meeting basic needs such as housing, healthcare, and education, and helping beneficiaries integrate into U.S. society.
