Trump Ends TPS and Parole Programs for Migrants

The Trump administration announced plans to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and parole programs that allowed over 532,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to live and work in the U.S. due to crises in their home countries. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has set April 24 as the deadline for these migrants to leave the country or face potential deportation, following the publication of the notice in the Federal Register. This move aligns with President Trump's campaign promise to reduce illegal immigration and terminate programs not serving U.S. interests. The decision has sparked legal challenges, with several federal lawsuits filed to block the termination of these programs. Critics, including advocacy groups, argue the revocation is unjust, claiming that the conditions in the migrants' home countries remain unsafe. The situation leaves affected migrants with limited options, such as seeking asylum or other immigration relief, if eligible.
