More than 500,000 Cuban, Haitian, and other migrants’ legal status will be revoked by the Trump administration

The US administration has issued a warning to more than half a million Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants to go by April 24. Termination plans have been announced by the Trump administration.

The US administration has issued a warning to more than half a million Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants to go by April 24.

530,000 migrants who came to the US through the CHNV sponsorship program, which was started by Biden, would have their temporary legal status revoked, according to plans released by the Trump administration.

According to a notice from the federal administration, the impacted persons have been told to leave the country before April 24 due to the revocation of their permits and deportation shield.

Initially created by President Joe Biden in 2022 as a legal migration route for Venezuelans, the CHNV program was later extended to Cubans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans. Under the plan, migrants might enter the US lawfully with American sponsors and stay for two years on parole.

The Biden administration had maintained that CHNV would improve security vetting and assist reduce unauthorized border crossings.

But the Trump-led Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has blasted the program, claiming it was a failure that hurt American workers and increased crime. Some migrants might still be permitted to stay on a case-by-case basis, according to the 35-page notification.

Trump has previously said that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 500,000 Haitians will end in August 2025, and he is also examining the status of 240,000 Ukrainians who escaped to the US during the Russia-Ukraine war. The Venezuelan TPS ruling is being challenged in court.

The continuous disagreement over US migration policy is reflected in the legal challenges Trump’s immigration policies have faced since taking office again in January.
