MIAMI — Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is visiting Miami on Monday, where he will meet with the local Haitian and Cuban communities as well as local and federal authorities.
The agency said the purpose of the visit is to talk about a recently announced parole process that allows up to 30,000 Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Haitians, and Cubans a month to enter the United States to live and work. Besides Cuban and Haitians in South Florida, he will also be meeting with Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, who has previously asked Mayorkas for federal support as the county manages an influx of recently arrived migrants.
Mayorkas is also scheduled to meet the U.S. Coast Guard and Homeland Security Task Force-Southeast amid an increase in migrant landings from Cuba and Haiti in the Florida Keys that began during the holidays.
