The United States will abolish legal protection for more than half a million immigrants from Latin America who will have to leave the country by April 24.
The United States will abolish legal protection for more than half a million immigrants from Latin America who will have about a month to leave the country. This stems from Friday’s announcement of the US Department of Home security, TASR reports according to Saturday’s report by AFP.
US President Donald Trump promises to carry out the largest deportation campaign in the history of the United States and suppresses immigration, especially from the Latisko -American states.
The new regulation applies to approximately 532,000 Cubans, the Haitians, the Nicaraguanians and the Venezuelans who came to the US on the basis of a program launched in October 2022 by the then President Joe Biden. His government has argued that this was a “safe and humane” way to alleviate migration pressure on the US-Mexican border.
They will have to leave the US within 30 days
These people will lose legal protection 30 days after the publication of the Regulation of the Ministry of Home security in the Collection of Laws, which is planned for the next Tuesday. This means that immigrants included in the program will have to leave the US until April 24, unless they have secured another immigration status that will allow them to stay.
The Ministry of Home security stressed in the statement that the program was only temporary. Karen Tumlin, director of the Justice Action Center, said that Trump’s government will “violate the promise that the federal government gave to hundreds of thousands of immigrants, and” causes unnecessary chaos and grief “for families and communities across the country.
