U.S. Revokes Temporary Status for Thousands of Migrants: They Could Be Immediately Deported

End of Humanitarian Parole

Mass Deportation Notices

Trump Tightens Immigration Policy

According to the EFE agency, thousands of migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Haiti have been notified by the U.S. government that their temporary immigration status has ended.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has begun sending mass emails to individuals who were granted legal permission to live and work in the country under a special humanitarian parole.

These notices, first reported by CNN, indicate the immediate cancellation of the “parole” granted by the Biden administration to over half a million people.

“The notice informs you that your ‘parole’ has been canceled,” reads the message received by hundreds of thousands of migrants.

Humanitarian Parole Cancellation Sparks Alarm

The email adds that those who do not voluntarily leave the country “may be subject to enforcement actions, including detention and removal.”

It also states that the work permits tied to the temporary immigration status will be revoked.

This means the affected migrants can no longer work legally or remain in the country without risking deportation.

The decision stems from a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court issued on May 30.

Supreme Court Backs Trump’s Policy

With this ruling, the nation’s highest court authorized Donald Trump’s administration to reinstate its previous immigration policy and revoke the benefits granted under Biden.

Specifically, the Supreme Court responded favorably to an emergency request from DHS to overturn a lower court’s injunction that had blocked the cancellation of the humanitarian parole program.

The “humanitarian parole” program was one of the Biden administration’s key responses to mounting migration pressure at the southern border.

It allowed the legal entry of up to 30,000 people per month from the specified countries, as long as they met certain conditions.

Trump’s Immigration Policy Under Scrutiny

One of the most important conditions was having a legally established sponsor in the United States.

Although praised by human rights advocates, the initiative was heavily criticized by Republican sectors.

For conservatives, this policy was a form of “disguised amnesty” that encouraged irregular migration.

With Trump back in the White House since January, his administration has pushed a radical shift in immigration enforcement.

Raids and Deportations Trigger Protests

The new administration has resumed a hardline approach, marked by mass raids, deportations, and legal restrictions.

DHS has insisted that these actions aim to “restore order to the immigration system” and “reduce the burden on border communities.”

However, the human impact is already visible in several cities.

In Los Angeles, recent ICE operations have sparked unrest, protests, and rising social tension.

Migrants Fear Return Without Protection

Civil rights organizations have denounced arbitrary arrests and fast-track deportations without due process.

Cities like Miami, New York, and Houston have also seen protests outside federal buildings.

Affected migrants who have lost their temporary immigration status express fear, frustration, and uncertainty about their immediate future.

Some had already begun to settle in, with jobs, studies, and community ties.

Humanitarian Parole Cancellation Affects Thousands

Now they face the dilemma of leaving the country or risking forced removal by authorities.

Legal advocates warn that many of these migrants have no support networks in their home countries.

In places like Haiti or Nicaragua, returning could pose a serious threat to their safety or well-being.

Organizations like the ACLU and Human Rights Watch have called on the Trump administration to reconsider the measure.
