Urgent: 500,000 Immigrants Given Weeks to Leave the US
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that it will terminate the legal status of approximately 532,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who entered the country under a humanitarian parole program initiated during the previous administration. This program, launched in October 2022 and expanded in January 2023, allowed these individuals to reside and work in the U.S. temporarily.
According to the DHS, the affected immigrants will lose their legal protections 30 days after the order is published in the Federal Register, scheduled for March 25, 2025. This means they must depart the U.S. by April 24, 2025, unless they secure another form of legal immigration status.
The DHS has stated that individuals who fail to leave voluntarily and lack any lawful basis to remain will be subject to removal. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem indicated that the original reasons for granting parole no longer exist, prompting this policy change.
Critics argue that this revocation could lead to chaos and breaks prior government commitments to these immigrants. Legal challenges have been filed, with opponents calling the decision harmful and counterproductive.
