WASHINGTON, March 24 (KUNA) -- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it had revoked the legal status of over 500,000 Latin Americans and Haitian migrants, giving them a week to leave the United States.
In a statement, the department revealed that it had canceled the Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela (CHNV) Parole Program -- launched during the Biden administration in 2022 -- with beneficiaries and immediate families asked to leave the US on April 24, 30 days from the official announcement in the federal record.
The CHNV allowed illegal migrants to temporarily settle in the US and seek jobs.
"The termination of the CHNV parole programs, and the termination of parole for those who exploited it, is a return to common-sense policies, a return to public safety, and a return to America First," said DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin.
The DHS accused the Biden administration of allowing millions to a million and half to randomly enter the US.
President Donald Trump vowed to executed the largest deportation campaign in US history and curb migration from Latin America.
President Trump signed several executive orders to decrease the flow of migrants to the US, stop accepting refugees, and announce a state of emergency on the southern borders of the country increasing via military presence. (end) amm.gta
