Half-Million Migrants Face Deportation as US Revokes Legal Status
The Trump administration will revoke the parole status of approximately 532,000 Latin American and Haitian migrants admitted under the Biden administration’s CHNV program, effective late April. This action terminates their work permits and deportation protections, leaving them to self-deport within 30 days or face arrest and removal. The DHS cites concerns about inadequate vetting and negative impacts on American workers, framing the decision as a return to stricter immigration policies. Those who fail to leave or secure alternative legal status will be prioritized for deportation.
