Trump Administration Ends Legal Protections for Over Half a Million Migrants

The Trump administration has announced the revocation of temporary legal status for approximately 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. This decision, effective April 24, 2025, targets individuals who entered the U.S. under a Biden-era sponsorship program known as CHNV. The program, launched in 2022, allowed migrants and their families to enter the U.S. with the support of American sponsors and remain for two years under a temporary status called parole.

The Department of Homeland Security has stated that migrants without a lawful basis to remain in the U.S. must leave before their parole termination date. While some may be allowed to stay on a case-by-case basis, the decision has sparked significant debate. Critics argue that this move could leave many vulnerable to deportation, while supporters claim it restores "common-sense policies" and prioritizes public safety.

This development marks a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy, with potential implications for diplomatic relations and the lives of affected migrants.
