Trump Administration Orders 500,000 Immigrants to Leave US
Immigrants admitted to the US from a Biden-era parole program for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela have begun receiving notices of termination urging them to depart the US.
Participants in the 'CHNV' parole program were also told that their employment authorization is revoked effective immediately in email messages from the Department of Homeland Security, the agency said Thursday.
The notices follow a US Supreme Court decision last month allowing DHS to move forward with revocation of parole benefits for half a million immigrants after a lower court preserved the protections. A legal challenge to the Trump administration's dismantling of parole programs including the CHNV process is still ongoing.
Revoking parole benefits is part of a larger effort by the administration to terminate temporary immigration protections that expanded in recent years. It has also terminated Temporary Protected Status designations that shielded immigrants from Venezuela, Afghanistan, Nepal and Cameroon from deportation.
The revocation notices announcement came the same day President Donald Trump said he would issue an order to protect farmworkers from deportation in response to demands from agricultural producers.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said that the Biden administration hadn't properly vetted immigrants admitted through the program, and that paroled immigrants had undercut American workers.
'Ending the CHNV parole programs, as well as the paroles of those who exploited it, will be a necessary return to common-sense policies, a return to public safety, and a return to America First,' she said in a statement.
The Biden administration launched the CHNV program in 2023 to reduce irregular migration to the US-Mexico border and give people an orderly way to flee humanitarian crises in the four countries.
Applications far exceeded the 30,000 slots available each month, and US businesses hired the parolees in hard-to-fill jobs across the country. Industries including construction and healthcare are likely to face new worker shortages after the parolees' work permits are canceled.
Krish O'Mara Vignarajah, president and CEO of Global Refuge, said the immigrants receiving termination notices this week had played by the rules and already passed security screenings and secured legal work authorization.
'Instead of rewarding responsible migration through orderly legal pathways, this action punishes those who jumped through every hoop asked of them,' she said in a statement.
US Citizenship and Immigration Services just this week lifted a freeze on pending benefits requests—like asylum claims and visa applications—for parolees in response to a court order. Processing of benefits was frozen in February, cutting off other legal immigration options weeks before the Trump administration announced the termination of parole benefits.

No Kings Day: List of cities hosting 50501 protests on Donald Trump's birthday
No Kings Day protests will take place Saturday across the country as Trump will be celebrating his 79th birthday. A massive protest will take place on June 14 across the country against President Donald Trump and his administration -- in affiliation with the 50501 national coalition (50 protests, 50 states, one movement). The 50501 coalition held two massive protest against the administration but the June 14 is different from those as it falls on Trump's 79th birthday -- which is also the US Army's 250th birthday. "They've defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings," the No Kings website states. According to the protesters, Trump is acting like a king ordering military parade on his birthday while Trump claimed that the parade is for the US Army's birthday. 'I don't feel like a king' Trump responded to the No Kings Day protest and saod he does not feel like royalty. 'I don't feel like a king; I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.' 'A king would say, 'I'm not going to get this.' A king would have never had the California mandate to even be talking, he wouldn't have to call up [Speaker] Mike Johnson and [Senate Majority Leader John] Thune and say, 'fellas you got to pull this off' and after years we get it done,' he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

Iran-Israel war: Operation Rising Lion aimed to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities, was approved 6 months ago, says Netanyahu
Benjamin Netanyahu said Operation Rising Lion was approved six months ago. Iran-Israel war: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday disclosed that the large-scale military operation against Iran, codenamed 'Operation Rising Lion', was authorised over six months ago, in November 2024, and was initially scheduled for April 2025. In a recorded speech in Hebrew, the prime minister provided updates about the operation to citizens. Netanyahu said the offensive, aimed at dismantling Iran's nuclear capabilities, was initially scheduled for April 2025 but was postponed due to operational considerations. A visibly elated Netanyahu at the success of Israel's major offensive against Iran's nuclear installations, missile development facilities and senior nuclear scientists and military commanders said he will try to make such statements daily. 'I gave instructions to the defence establishment more than half-a-year ago, in November 2024, to eliminate the (Iran's) nuclear programme,' the Israeli Premier said. 'It didn't succeed in happening exactly on that date and the precise date was determined on the recommendation of the IDF, in consultation with the Chief of Staff and the Defence Minister,' he said. Showing a paper claiming it was that of its authorisation, Netanyahu said that the operation was planned for April this year. 'This didn't happen by chance or for trivial reasons – if Iran has nuclear weapons, we simply won't be here,' he emphasised. Some critics thought it was a distraction in view of the government's failure to get the hostages in Gaza released and also because of the internal crisis the government is facing within its coalition, with some parties threatening to bring it down over military exemption law. Netanyahu argued that following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Israel made an assessment that Iran would expedite its nuclear programme, which it did. Earlier on Friday morning, the Israeli leader in a video message claimed that Iran has reached a level of uranium enrichment that it could soon develop some nine atom bombs. 'In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before. Steps to weaponise this enriched uranium. And if not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be a year, it could be within a few months, less than a year. This is a clear and present danger to Israel's very survival,' he claimed, soon after Israel carried out attacks in Iran. 'If we did not succeed in foiling Iran's nuclear programme, we would not exist,' he stressed in the afternoon update. Netanyahu also cautioned citizens not to be in euphoria over the success of the operation and stay calm and vigilant. He asserted that there would be retaliation and may be 'a price' to pay. Netanyahu also touched upon the issue of American support for the attack, which was not extended in view of Washington's negotiations with Iran, but expressed faith that it would be there given that US President Donald Trump has made it clear that Iran cannot acquire nuclear capabilities.
