Immigrants in CHNV parole program could be deported after 2 years, DHS says
McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The Biden administration is making changes to a controversial temporary parole program for immigrants from four countries, and those enrolled could be deported after two years.
The special parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans — which allows those who meet U.S. requirements to legally enter the country pending their immigration cases — will not be re-issued past two years. Anyone who is enrolled in the program and wants to remain in the United States will have to apply for parole through other means, or face deportation, Border Report has learned.
The changes were announced Monday in the Federal Register by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Executive Office for Immigration Review, and the Department of Justice, and clarify a final rule that took effect on Oct. 1. The rule also invites public comments.
“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. Those who do not have pending immigration benefits or who have not been granted an immigration benefit during their two-year parole period will need to depart the United States prior to the expiration of their authorized parole period or may be placed in removal proceedings after the period of parole expires,” a DHS spokesperson told Border Report on Monday.
