Daily Immigration Update: Parolee Removals, Immigration Raids, and the Response of School Districts
NPR reports:
The future is unclear for more than 1.4 million immigrants in the U.S. legally under several President Biden programs that provided temporary legal status to migrants, many of whom were escaping violence in their home countries. However, Trump has now ended these programs and given immigration officials the authority to deport these asylum seekers.
One program is known as CHNV parole for people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, NPR’s Sergio Martínez-Beltrán says. People from those countries were allowed into the United States so long as they had a sponsor and passed a background check. Trump has expanded the expedited removal, which was originally only applied to migrants who had recently crossed the border. Martínez-Beltrán adds, “it’s one thing to issue an order; it’s a lot more complicated to actually deport people, and it’s unclear how that will happen.”
