This is a major move.
President Trump has officially shut down one of Biden’s most controversial immigration policies — a so-called “humanitarian parole” program that allowed over half a million foreign nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter and remain in the United States.
🚨 What Just Happened?
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that on April 24, all work permits and deportation protections granted under the Biden-era program will be terminated.
- Over 532,000 migrants will lose their legal status.
- Foreign nationals without lawful grounds to stay will face immediate deportation.
- DHS is under clear orders to remove anyone who refuses to leave.
“The program no longer serves any urgent humanitarian or public benefit,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stated.
🔍 Biden’s Immigration Policy Backfires
Launched in October 2022, Biden’s parole program was intended to manage the border crisis by allowing certain migrants to fly directly into the U.S. — skipping the legal immigration line — if they had a sponsor.
But the program quickly became a magnet for fraud:
- Thousands of applications listed fake Social Security numbers.
- Over 19,000 applications used the same 100 physical addresses.
- Many submissions came from the same IP address, according to a federal review.
Despite clear evidence of abuse, the Biden administration continued the program until October 2024, when even they stopped allowing extensions.
💥 Trump Cracks Down on Fraud, Puts America First
On day one, President Trump moved to shut the program down completely, halting all new applications and revoking legal status for those already here.
A DHS spokesperson didn’t hold back:
“The previous administration lied to America. They allowed loosely vetted foreign nationals to flood our cities, take American jobs, and strain our communities.”
- The parolees were poorly screened.
- They were given access to U.S. jobs, displacing hard-working Americans.
- Border agents were forced to approve applications, even when fraud was obvious.
⚠️ Open-Borders Groups Fight Back in Court
As expected, left-wing immigration groups are suing to keep the doors open. One lawsuit, backed by the Haitian Bridge Alliance, claims the Trump administration is dismantling “lawful pathways” into the country.
Karen Tumlin of the Justice Action Center said the policy change will cause “chaos and heartbreak.” But for millions of Americans watching their communities overwhelmed by unchecked migration, the real chaos was the program itself.
✅ Trump Restores Border Security and National Sovereignty
This move is part of a broader plan to:
- Secure the border
- End illegal immigration
- Protect American jobs
- Uphold national security
By ending this disastrous policy, President Trump is once again putting American citizens first and reversing the damage done by the Biden administration’s open-borders agenda.
