Mon Mar 31 21:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Thousands Face Deportation After US Revokes Humanitarian Parole
**Washington D.C.** – A mass deportation order affecting an estimated 532,000 immigrants from Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Haiti has sent shockwaves through affected communities. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued emails on Saturday, March 29th, informing recipients of the humanitarian parole program that their status will expire on April 24th, effectively ordering their departure from the United States.
The program, implemented by the Biden administration, allowed up to 30,000 individuals from these four countries to enter the US legally each month with work permits and a two-year stay. However, the Trump administration swiftly moved to dismantle the program upon taking office. This latest action represents the final stage in that process, leaving many immigrants facing an uncertain future.
The DHS email warns that failure to leave by April 24th could result in expedited removal or deportation proceedings, potentially leading to inadmissibility for future entry. Those departing via land are instructed to use the CBP Home app to report their exit. The revocation of work permits is also included in the email.
Immigration lawyer Willy Allen expressed concern, particularly for Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, and Haitian nationals who haven’t yet filed for asylum. He notes that Cubans might have recourse through the Cuban Adjustment Act, but urges others to apply for asylum immediately. Allen anticipates that many will be unable or unwilling to leave, leading to a significant number of individuals in legal and economic limbo. The impact is particularly severe for those who have established families, bought property, and paid taxes during their time in the US. The situation highlights the abrupt reversal of immigration policies and the considerable consequences for those caught in the middle.
