The Department of Homeland Security announced the termination of the 2022 and 2023 categorical parole programs for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (referred to as “CHNV parole programs”). DHS is expected to publish a Federal Register notice March 25 to terminate these programs effective April 24.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The termination of the CHNV parole programs is anticipated to impact approximately 530,000 Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan nationals. The Trump administration’s actions to suspend categorical parole programs are currently under litigation, and this termination will likely face similar legal challenges.
In terms of enforcement, the register states that “DHS generally intends to remove promptly aliens who entered the United States under the CHNV parole programs who do not depart the United States before their parole termination date and do not have any lawful basis to remain in the United States. DHS retains its discretion to commence enforcement action against any alien at any time, including during the 30-day waiting period created by this notice.”
