Trump administration tells 500,000 immigrants to 'self-deport' after revoking protections
The Trump administration began sending termination notices Thursday to about 500,000 foreign nationals who had received temporary stays to live and work in the United States under a special humanitarian exception. The so-called CHNV program was open to applicants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela from 2023 until it was terminated by President Donald Trump earlier this year. Recipients of the notices from the Department of Homeland Security are encouraged to 'self-deport immediately." The move came two weeks after the Supreme Court ruled that DHS can order CHNV participants to leave the country, even as they pursue a lawsuit challenging Trump's revocation of the Biden administration-era program. If immigrants agree to "self-deport" using DHS's Home Mobile App, they will receive travel assistance and a $1,000 bonus upon arrival in their home country. A month ago, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to revoke the protected status of nearly 350,000 more immigrants, all from Venezuela, who were allowed to remain in the U.S. under the Temporary Status Program. Immigrants in the CHNV program had been granted temporary, two-year stays after leaving their home countries because of conflicts there, or unsafe living or working conditions. In a statement on the revocation of the CHNV program, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin accused the Biden administration of having "lied to America." Yet as DHS sent out notices to foreign nationals Thursday, Trump himself bemoaned the effect that his own administration's aggressive immigration enforcement actions were having on the farming, hotel and leisure sectors, which sometimes employ undocumented workers. 'Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long term workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,' Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Thursday morning. 'In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs,' Trump wrote. 'This is no good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA," he wrote. "Changes are coming!' Speaking to reporters later, Trump reiterated his belief that farmers were being harmed by his administration's deportation regime. "Farmers are being hurt badly ... They have very good workers, they've worked for them for 20 years, they're not citizens but they've turned out to be great," Trump said. "We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back," he said, an apparent reference to the deportation of undocumented agricultural workers that his administration has pursued. "You go into a farm and you look and people ... they've been there for 20, 25, years, and they've worked great and the owner of the farm loves them and everything else," Trump continued. "And then you're supposed to throw them out." "So we're, we're going to have an order on that, pretty soon, I think. We can't do that to our farmers and leisure too, hotels," the president said. The White House did not immediately reply to a request for additional details about what such an order might look like.

Trump wishes happy Easter to all, ‘including Radical Left Lunatics'
President Trump on Sunday wished everyone a happy Easter in a post on his Truth Social platform, 'including Radical Left Lunatics.' 'Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and Wife Beaters, back into our Country,' Trump said in his post. 'Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue, an attack so violent that it will never be forgotten!' the president continued. 'Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America.' The president's comments come amid an intense crackdown by his administration on immigration. In the first few months of the new Trump administration, his administration has sent hundreds of deportees to a Salvadoran maximum-security prison named CECOT. The story of one of the deportees sent to CECOT, a wrongfully deported Maryland man named Kilmar Abrego Garcia, has made particularly strong political waves in Washington, D.C. Abrego Garcia's deportation happened despite an order from a U.S. immigration judge in 2019 specifically guarding him from deportation to El Salvador, and he and his family have said he is not part of the gang known as MS-13. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday posted court filings from 2021 in which Abrego Garcia's wife sought a restraining order against him. According to court records from Maryland, the complaint was dismissed after Abrego Garcia's wife did not appear in court. 'After surviving domestic violence in a previous relationship, I acted out of caution following a disagreement with Kilmar by seeking a civil protective order, in case things escalated. Things did not escalate, and I decided not to follow through with the civil court process. We were able to work through the situation privately as a family, including by going to counseling,' Jennifer Vasquez Sura, Abrego Garcia's wife, said in a Wednesday statement. In his Sunday post, Trump also said former President Biden 'was, by far, our WORST and most Incompetent President, a man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing.' 'But to him, and to the person that ran and manipulated the Auto Pen (perhaps our REAL President!), and to all of the people who CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election in order to get this highly destructive Moron Elected, I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a very Happy Easter!!!' Trump added later, again raising a false claim of 2020 presidential election cheating.
