Trump Halts Obama-Era Immigration Parole Abuse
Administration ends program that automatically admitted previously rejected refugee applicants
by Brendan Kirby | Updated 16 Aug 2017 at 9:45 AM
The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday formally ended a policy of former President Barack Obama’s administration that paid for Central American children whose refugee claims had been rejected to relocate to the United States.
President Donald Trump ordered a review of the program in January as part of an executive order on immigration. The Department of Homeland Security finally carried it out with publication of a notice in the Federal Register. From now on, rejected applicants younger than 21 in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras will not automatically be waved into the country — at taxpayer expense — as part of a process known as parole.

Trump administration shuts down Central American minor protection program
Fox News, Aug 17, 2017
The Trump administration on Wednesday shut down yet another Obama-era program — this one created to give Central American minors fleeing poverty and gang violence in their homeland temporary legal status in the United States.
The “CAM parole” program was established in 2014 in response to a surprise spike in the number of unaccompanied minors and families entering the country from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. The program allowed minors who did not make the cut for “refugee status” to enter the U.S. on a two-year, renewable parole if they had a parent already legally in the country.
According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which oversaw the project, 1,465 minors have been granted entry under the parole program. Another 2,714 people had been conditionally approved to enter the U.S. but have now lost the opportunity.
The program’s future seemed to be in jeopardy in February when the Department of Homeland Security froze it — saying it was under internal review as part of a wave of executive orders Trump signed during his first few weeks in office.
