Biden ending parole for migrants admitted to US through CBP One app
SUMMARY
The Biden administration announced on Friday that it will end the temporary parole status for aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who entered the U.S. via the CBP One app. This decision affects approximately 500,000 aliens who had been granted a two-year parole and work authorization since 2022, aimed at reducing illegal border crossings. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that the two-year parole period was intended to enable these individuals to seek humanitarian relief or other immigration benefits. However, with the expiration of their parole status, these aliens must leave the U.S. or secure another legal avenue to remain. A DHS spokesperson stated that those without pending immigration benefits will face potential removal proceedings after their parole expires. While the parole status will not continue, the CHNV program remains active, allowing individuals outside the U.S. to apply for parole.
