The Trump administration is shutting down President Biden’s CHNV parole program, which allowed over 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to stay in the U.S. with work permits if they had sponsors. The Supreme Court upheld Trump’s move to terminate the policy, calling it a national security risk and a misuse of executive authority.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has begun issuing termination notices to these migrants, revoking both their parole status and work authorization immediately. Trump officials argue the program enabled mass migration with minimal oversight, while Democrats defended it as humanitarian. DHS stated the program harmed American workers and allowed poorly vetted individuals into the country. Migrants are now encouraged to self-deport using a mobile app, with the offer of travel help and a $1,000 incentive. This move is part of Trump’s broader effort to restore immigration control and dismantle what he calls Biden’s open-border agenda.
