No Re-Parole for Migrants from Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, and Nicaragua

In “No Re-Parole for Migrants from Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, and Nicaragua,” Hamed Aleaziz for the  New York Times reports that the Biden administration has announced that it would allow the temporary legal permission for migrants from Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, and Nicaragua to lapse requiring hundreds of thousands of people to find other legal avenues for remaining in the country or face removal.

“The decision comes nearly two years after the Biden administration began a program allowing migrants from those four countries to apply to stay in the United States for two years, as long as they had a financial sponsor and passed background checks.

The program was designed to discourage people from sneaking into the country by giving them a legal way to enter the United States. Now, the administration said migrants cannot extend their stay under the program, according to an update on the Homeland Security Department’s website.”
