What the end of CHNV parole program means for half-a-million migrants, many in Florida
The U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to end a key humanitarian parole program, known as CHNV, that allowed hundreds of thousands of people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to legally enter the United States. The decision affects more than half-a-million migrants who had been granted temporary legal status, many of whom live in South Florida. Here's what you need to know about the ruling and its impact. What did the Supreme Court decide? On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's request to lift a federal judge's injunction that had blocked the government from ending the humanitarian parole program. This clears the way for the administration to revoke the temporary protection and potentially deport the migrants. How many people are affected by this decision? A total of 531,690 people are affected. That includes: 110,240 Cubans211,040 Haitians93,070 Nicaraguans117,330 Venezuelans These individuals entered the U.S. legally through the program since it began in January 2023. What is the timeline for deportation? The Department of Homeland Security will give migrants a 30-day wind-down period starting from the publication of the termination notice, expected next week. However, DHS can begin deportations at any time, even during the 30 days. Migrants are being urged to voluntarily depart the U.S. and report their departure via a mobile app all used by Customs and Border Protection known as CBP Home.. Why is the Trump administration ending the program? The administration argues the program: Did not improve border security pressure on interior to increased immigration backlogs, with 75,000 parolees applying for strain on resources like housing, education, and legal services, especially in states like Florida. Officials also say the program is inconsistent with Trump's foreign policy goals and has outlived its purpose. Who is at immediate risk of deportation? DHS will prioritize deporting individuals who: Have not filed for asylum, adjustment of status, or Temporary Protected Status before the notice is not beneficiaries of an immigration petition filed on their behalf, for example by a relative or an employer. Those who already obtained a. legal immigration status are not required to leave. Can affected migrants still apply for asylum or another status? It's complicated. The administration says applications to adjust status are on hold. Immigration attorneys argue this could contradict existing legal protections for asylum seekers. Regardless, anyone affected should consult an immigration attorney. What happens to migrants with valid work permits? Work authorizations issued under the program will be canceled. DHS says that once the parole is revoked, the legal basis for those permits no longer exists. This means: People will lose legal employment may become undocumented and subject to expedited removal, especially if they live near the border and have been in the U.S. for less than two years. What should migrants do if they cannot safely return to their home countries? The government has not offered a clear answer. However, the Trump administration says it's negotiating with Latin American countries to receive deportees. For example, Panama recently accepted a U.S. military flight with 119 deportees, who were then repatriated to their home countries. Is the government really planning mass deportations? Yes. DHS has stated its intent to promptly deport any migrants who: Do not leave before their parole not have another legal immigration status. What happens to people's property, rent, and investments in the U.S.? The administration acknowledges that many people sold property abroad or invested in homes, cars, and jobs in the U.S. But the official position is that the program was always temporary, and participants knew it could be terminated at any time.
