The Trump administration is preparing to revoke legal status for many migrants who entered the United States under a Biden-era program, expanding the pool of people who could be deported. This move is expected to impact migrants from Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela, and Haiti who arrived under President Joe Biden as part of a humanitarian parole program, allowing them to temporarily live and work in the US. Over 530,000 individuals from these countries entered the US under this program.
While some migrants may be eligible for other programs that could protect them from deportation, those who have not pursued alternative legal avenues to remain in the US may face removal. Many of the individuals who arrived under the humanitarian parole program have been in the US for less than two years. Trump officials have broadened a procedure to expedite deportations, now including undocumented immigrants nationwide who cannot prove they have lived continuously in the US for two years or more.
