USA suspended migratory requests for those who entered the country with humanitarian parole

Donald Trump’s government indefinite frozen the migratory requests of the people who arrived in the United States through a series of programs created by their predecessor, Joe Biden, who benefited people from several countries in Latin America and Ukraine.

In an internal document of the Department of National Security (DHS), released on Wednesday by the chain CBSthe Executive also orders freezing the pending applications of those who sought to register in the program and obtain that permit to travel to the US, known as humanitarian parole.

The decision affects the beneficiaries of the CHNV programs, (for citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Haiti), United for Ukraine (for Ukrainian citizens) and the family reunification process for Cubans, Ecuadorians and Colombians.

In total, more than 800,000 people entered the US with these migratory benefits, which granted two -year temporary permission to live and work in the country. The DHS guideline arrives a month after Trump, a few hours after assuming the White House, I decided to end the «parole» for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans. The program, established by Biden (2021-2025) at the end of 2022, allowed more than 500,000 people to migrate to the US.

The US argument to freeze the Phumanitarian arole

The idea of ​​these programs, according to Biden government officials at the time, was to grant these migrants a legal entry to the United States so that they could then take advantage of other migratory benefits or programs such as the temporal protection status (TPS) or asylum .

The new decision, therefore, threatens to leave the people in the country in a legal limbo after having entered the parole and they are waiting for their migratory processes to be resolved.

The Government, according to the CBS chain, justified the measure claiming alleged concerns about «national fraud or security» in the current government system to award migratory benefits.

DHS did not respond to EFE requests for commenting to confirm the measure. EFE
