The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has begun issuing termination notices to individuals who were paroled into the United States under a program initiated during the Biden administration. This program, known as the CHNV parole program, was designed for nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
These notices inform recipients that their parole status and employment authorization are revoked with immediate effect. The notifications are being sent via email to addresses provided by the parolees.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, "The Biden Administration lied to America. They allowed more than half a million poorly vetted aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and their immediate family members to enter the United States through these disastrous parole programs; granted them opportunities to compete for American jobs and undercut American workers; forced career civil servants to promote the programs even when fraud was identified; and then blamed Republicans in Congress for the chaos that ensued and the crime that followed." She added that ending these programs is seen as a return to "common-sense policies" and prioritizing public safety.
The Biden administration reportedly released over 500,000 individuals into the U.S. starting in 2022 under this program. However, former President Trump canceled it, with this decision being upheld by the Supreme Court on May 30, 2025. DHS is now advising those without lawful status to leave immediately.
Additionally, DHS encourages illegal aliens residing in the U.S. to self-deport using the CBP Home Mobile App. Those who comply will receive travel assistance along with a $1,000 exit bonus upon returning to their home country.
