Biden ending parole for migrants admitted to US through CBP One app
The Biden administration will not continue the temporary parole status that allowed immigrants from four countries to be admitted into the United States through the CBP One app, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
DHS will not renew the two-year parole and work authorizations for roughly half a million immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who entered the country since 2022 through procedures that were set up to deter people from illegally crossing over the southern border, the department confirmed in a statement Friday evening.
“As initially stated in the Federal Register notices, a grant of parole under these processes was for a temporary period of up to two years. This two-year period was intended to enable individuals to seek humanitarian relief or other immigration benefits for which they may be eligible, and to work and contribute to the United States," a DHS spokesperson wrote in an email.
The announcement comes a month before the 2024 presidential election when immigration is a top concern for voters and Vice President Kamala Harris has taken hits from former President Donald Trump for her stewardship of the border with President Joe Biden. Under the Biden-Harris administration illegal border crossings reached their highest levels in history, contributing to a majority of the public wanting to see a reduction in overall immigration.
