Why the Humanitarian Parole is revoked in the United States
According to the order issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the revocation of this program, with 520 thousand subscribers, arises from a reevaluation of it, in which a series of deficiencies were found regarding the purpose for which it was implemented.
“These programs do not represent a public benefit, do not necessarily reduce levels of illegal immigration, did not sufficiently mitigate the effects of illegal immigration, and did not serve the intended purposes. They are inconsistent with the administration's foreign policy goals,” can be read in the DHS order.
How to avoid expulsion from the United States due to the revocation of the humanitarian parole for immigrants?
According to civil organizations dedicated to supporting immigrants, the first step to take, to avoid expulsion due to the revocation of the CHNV humanitarian parole, is to consult with a lawyer to find other ways to adjust their immigration status.
It is important to mention that if this action is not carried out before April 24th, deportation could be inevitable.
What is humanitarian parole
Humanitarian parole is a temporary permit that the United States government grants to certain foreigners to enter and stay in the country for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. Although it does not grant permanent legal status, it allows residency and, in some cases, legal work during the authorized time.
As its name implies, CHNV humanitarian parole (Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela), this program will directly affect people from these countries in Central America, the Caribbean and South America. The beneficiaries of this program arrived in North American territory after former President Joe Biden established the first parole for those coming from Venezuela.
In the following years, Biden added new countries, encouraging more inhabitants of the American continent to come to the United States.
To access this benefit, individuals had to have a sponsor or connection in the U.S., such as a family member or acquaintance who could demonstrate their ability to receive and support these individuals for two years, the duration of the permit. This “permit” also provided the applicant with the opportunity to work.
The same measure stipulated that after the two years, beneficiaries had to seek other options to stay or, otherwise, face deportation.
In accordance with the same Trump measure, the cancellation will be official between March 23 and 24, indicating that all those enrolled in this program have 30 days to leave the country, which will be fulfilled on April 24th.
The measure also establishes that even those who have not completed the two years of benefit must also leave the country. The order also stipulates that those who do not have “legal basis to remain in the United States” must leave U.S. territory by the established date.
