The Biden administration has announced that legal permissions for certain migrants from Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela, and Haiti provided through a temporary humanitarian program will not be extended. This decision, as per the Department of Homeland Security, means that these migrants will need to seek other legal means to remain in the United States.
The program was initially rolled out nearly two years ago, primarily aimed at Venezuelans seeking to come to the US. It allowed them to temporarily live and work in the country to help manage surges at the border. Requirements for participants included having a sponsor in the US, undergoing screening and vetting, and completing vaccinations.
