Former President Donald Trump has terminated a program implemented by the Biden administration that allowed over 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. temporarily based on humanitarian reasons. Trump's executive order directs the Department of Homeland Security to end all categorical parole programs deemed contrary to U.S. policies. The program, which allowed migrants to apply for entry from their home countries, has been credited with reducing illegal border crossings.
Migrants who crossed the Rio Grande and entered the U.S. from Mexico are lined up for processing by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, in Eagle Pass, Texas.
In an executive order signed Monday evening, Trump instructed the Department of Homeland Security to"terminate all categorical parole programs that are contrary to the policies of the United States established in my Executive Orders," including the humanitarian parole program for those four countries.
Biden's initiative allowed migrants from those embattled countries to apply for entry from their countries due to"urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit," without having to attempt to cross illegally outside a port of entry. A U.S.-based sponsor and a background check was required to apply.
