The Trump administration initiated a process to end temporary legal status for over 530,000 individuals who had arrived from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela through Biden-era parole programmes. This decision aims to fulfil a directive from Trump's first day in office to terminate such parole programmes, which the current administration argues do not serve a significant public benefit or align with US foreign policy goals. The Department of Homeland Security intends to remove those who entered under these programmes and do not depart by the termination date. These parole programmes, established by the Biden administration, allowed eligible individuals from these four nations to reside and work in the US for up to two years, subject to applications, background checks, and financial sponsorship. A senior DHS official criticised these programmes as "disastrous", while legal challenges have already been filed against this move to end them.
