The Trump administration has announced the revocation of temporary legal status for over 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, instructing them to leave the U.S. before April 24.
These migrants were admitted under the Biden-era CHNV program, which allowed them to enter the country with U.S.-based sponsors and remain for two years under temporary parole. Trump suspended the initiative upon taking office, arguing it failed to curb illegal border crossings and undermined American workers.
While some may qualify for alternative legal status on a case-by-case basis, uncertainty looms over the majority. The administration is also weighing the termination of protections for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the war with Russia.
The decision aligns with broader efforts to tighten immigration policies, but legal challenges could complicate enforcement.
