The tide is turning on immigration policy as the Trump administration’s U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) demanded that illegal aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela leave.
See the tweet below this post.
The DHS has begun revoking permits for over 500,000 illegal aliens from these countries who entered the U.S. under a Biden-era program.
Following a Supreme Court ruling upholding the Trump administration’s cancellation of the program, this move orders aliens to leave the country immediately if they lack other legal status.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin did not hold back in criticizing the program’s flaws, stating:
“This program was abused by the previous administration to admit hundreds of thousands of poorly vetted illegal aliens.”
The termination notices, sent via email, revoke both parole status and work authorizations effective immediately for individuals who entered under the humanitarian parole program since October 2022.
The CHNV parole program, launched by the Biden administration, allowed approximately 532,000 people from the four countries to enter the U.S. with two-year permits while awaiting immigration proceedings.
Each illegal alien needed an American financial sponsor to qualify. Critics long argued the program represented a dangerous workaround to proper immigration channels.
For those affected by the termination, the DHS is offering financial incentives to encourage voluntary departure.
Those who self-deport using the CBP Home Mobile App will receive travel assistance and a $1,000 reintegration bonus.
This approach aims to facilitate compliance while avoiding costly deportation proceedings.
Furthermore, McLaughlin described the policy reversal as implementing “common-sense policies” that embrace an “America First” approach.
The shift fulfills one of President Trump’s campaign promises to end what he termed “broad abuse” of humanitarian parole.
Immigration enforcement officials have started contacting affected individuals, though the government has not detailed how it will track those who leave or distribute promised payments.
While immigration advocates have predictably criticized the decision, calling it “deeply destabilizing,” the Supreme Court’s ruling affirmed the administration’s authority to end programs it considers harmful to American interests.
The May 30 ruling has given the executive branch clear authority to restore order to an immigration system that many Americans believe has spiraled out of control.
The termination of the CHNV parole program represents a significant return to immigration enforcement that prioritizes American security and sovereignty.
By eliminating a program that allowed hundreds of thousands to enter with minimal vetting, the administration is taking concrete steps to address the border crisis that has concerned millions of American citizens.
A day after the US Supreme Court ruled in favour of the Trump administration’s emergency appeal, the US president took to Truth Social with a provocative image captioned "Let the Deportations Begin."
