MIAMI — Hoping to cut down on the unprecedented number of Haitians and Cubans trying to reach the United States by boat and at its southern land border, the Biden administration announced Friday that it will be making it easier for individuals from those countries to reunite with families in the U.S.
The administration announced the resumption of the expedited Cuban and Haitian family reunification parole programs as part of a larger set of commitments in a regional migration partnership that will be announced late in the day at the conclusion of the Ninth Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles.
The Department of Homeland Security, which previously announced the restart of the Cuban Family Reunification Program last month without giving a target date, said Friday it would resume the program this summer.
