In a surprisingly quick turnaround, U.S. immigration authorities have already approved some applications by Cubans to come to live in the United States through a new parole program the Biden administration announced less than a week ago in a bid to curb migrants coming to the U.S. border and Florida shores.
“The first Cuban citizens have already been approved for the new parole program into the United States since the program began last Friday,” the U.S. embassy in Havana said Wednesday on Twitter.
A State Department spokesperson said the tweet was sent based on information provided by the Department of Homeland Security.
