BREAKING: Termination notices are being delivered to hundreds of thousands of migrants who entered the United States through the CHNV parole program, which was launched by the Biden administration and recently terminated by the Department of Homeland Security.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has initiated the termination of the CHNV parole program, which previously allowed nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the United States under humanitarian parole. Effective March 25, 2025, this action affects approximately 530,000 individuals who were granted temporary legal status and work authorization under the program. The Guardian+3AHCA/NCAL+3Diario AS+3
Termination notices have been issued, informing recipients that their parole status will expire on April 24, 2025. These notices instruct individuals without a lawful basis to remain in the U.S. to depart before the termination date to avoid accruing unlawful presence, which could impact future immigration applications.

The revocation of legal status also results in the loss of employment authorization. Employers are advised that any employment authorization documents (EADs) issued under the (c)(11) category will become invalid after April 24, 2025.

This policy change has prompted legal challenges and criticism from advocacy groups, who argue that the sudden termination leaves many individuals vulnerable to deportation and disrupts communities and workplaces. Legal experts recommend that affected individuals seek counsel to explore alternative avenues for legal status, such as asylum applications or family-based petitions.
The DHS maintains that this decisio aligns with efforts to uphold the rule of law and ensure that immigration programs operate within the bounds of statutory authority. They emphasize the importance of compliance with U.S. immigration laws and the orderly processing of individuals within the legal framework. The Bronx Daily | Bronx.com
