The Biden administration could resume as soon as this week a humanitarian program (CHNV) that allows migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Nicaragua and Cuba to apply for asylum in the country, NBC News reported on Wednesday.
The program was halted weeks ago amid allegations of widespread fraud. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) stopped issuing travel authorizations to Venezuelans on July 6 and to the other nationalities on July 18. The issue has to do with so-called sponsors, a key component of the initiative: they are people living legally in the U.S. who can vouch for the migrants and ensure their financial support after their arrival.
