The House Homeland Security Committee subpoenaed documents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday detailing a list of 45 cities that thousands of paroled migrants flew into in the past two years via a controversial immigration program.

The DHS established the immigration policy in October of 2022, which was intended for Venezuelans to enter the country legally as long as they had an American sponsor, and passed a vetting process. It was later opened to migrants from Haiti, Cuba, and Nicaragua. The program did not secure the flights itself, but allowed the newcomers to enter the country legally.

The program allowed more than 200,000 migrants to enter the country during an eight month window last year, spanning from January through August of 2023. Florida received the bulk of the newcomers, with 80% of the migrants flown into airports in four Florida cities, including Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and Tampa according to data reviewed by Fox News. New York, California, Georgia, Texas, and Nevada also received migrant flights.
