Trump Administration Cancels Biden’s ‘Temporary’ Status for Thousands of MigrantsWarner Todd Huston 25 Jan 2025
President Donald Trump is allowing the deportation of more than a million illegal aliens admitted via Joe Biden’s two-year “parole” loophole.
Trump officials have moved quickly to revoke the “temporary” status that Biden had conferred on more than a million illegal aliens in the waning days of his term in the White House.
Many of these migrants gained entry through Biden’s CBP One app, a program that Trump also canceled.
Others were allowed in on parole with the “CHNV” program that offered “humanitarian parole” for people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
Overall, the two programs pulled in about 1,468,490 migrants, according to a January report by the DHS:
In December, CBP [Customs and Border Protection] processed almost 44,000 individuals at ports of entry with information submitted in advance through CBP One [cellphone app]. Since the appointment scheduling function in CBP One was introduced in January 2023 through the end of December 2024, more than 936,500 individuals have successfully [entered the United States] …
Through the end of December, about 531,690 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans arrived lawfully and were granted parole under the parole processes. Specifically, 110,970 Cubans, 213,150 Haitians, 96,270 Nicaraguans, and 120,760 Venezuelans were vetted and authorized for travel;
The parole programs cut a huge loophole in the nation’s border laws by granting “humanitarian parole” to a huge population of economic migrants. The law’s parole provision was intended for a small number of emergency cases, such as sick airline passengers.
In fact, the program was more like an employment scheme, not “refugee” assistance. Even the New York Times pointed out that the provisional status program helped companies including Amazon warehouses, facilities for Toyota and Honda, and the restaurant industry to get cheap labor.
