Measure can impact about 532,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela
The Government, under the administration of the president, requested the Supreme Court to revoke the legal status of more than half a million immigrants. Measure can impact about 532,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. The proposal aims to annul the temporary authorization of residence known as “Parole”, which was granted in October 2022 during the former president’s government. This status was part of the CHNV program, which allowed the legal permanence of these immigrants in the country.
The revocation initiative was brought to the Supreme Court by Trump, which seeks to reverse the immigration policies implemented by Biden. In addition to immigrants under the CHNV program, Trump also intends to include about 350,000 Venezuelans who are under temporary protection (TPS). If the Supreme Court upholds the request, the decision may significantly impact the lives of nearly 900,000 people currently residing in the United States under these protective programs.
