Trump Admin Already Telling Migrants From Cuba, Haiti To Leave The U.S. As Legal Status Is Revoked

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is already telling hundreds of thousands of migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Nicaragua and Cuba to leave the U.S. as their legal status has been terminated by the Trump administration.

CNN reported on Thursday that termination notices have been sent to nationals from those four countries who had been benefited by a program known as humanitarian parole and implemented during a Biden administration.

"This notice informs you that your parole is now terminated," reads a passage of the notice. "If you do not leave, you may be subject to enforcement actions, including but not limited to detention and removal, without an opportunity to make personal arrangements and return to your country in an orderly manner." Beneficiaries are also directed to return work permits to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

The move comes weeks after the Supreme Court allowed the administration to strip beneficiaries from their legal status. They were allowed to temporarily live and work in the U.S. if they passed a security check and had a sponsor who could provide them with housing.

More than 531,000 people had been approved to enter the U.S. and stay for up to two years under the program, with Florida receiving 80% of the arriving migrants, according to the current administration.

Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented with the ruling, with Jackson saying the court didn't take into account "the devastating consequences of allowing the government to precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million noncitizens while their legal claims are pending."

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the revocation of CHNV recipients' legal status in mid-March. The measure was put in pause after Massachusetts judge Indira Talwani ruled that the administration needed to make individual determinations.

However, Solicitor General D. John Sauer said the judge didn't have the authority to rule on the issue and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has the authority to do so under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act.
