SEATTLE - The Department of Homeland Security detailed a new set of rules in the parole program that allows migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to access an expedited process to enter the country legally.
According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, 30,000 noncitizens will obtain authorization each month to seek parole on a case-by-case basis. The new rule says that migrants who have claimed refugee status in another country may not apply for the program.
