Trump revokes legal status for 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans

Summary

Donald Trump revoked the temporary legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, effective April 24, ending a parole program initiated under President Joe Biden.

The program allowed migrants to enter the U.S. legally if they had sponsors. The revocation could make migrants vulnerable to deportation through "expedited removal."

Trump claims Biden’s programs exceeded legal authority and signals potential revocation of similar status for 240,000 Ukrainians.

Critics warn the move could destabilize migrant communities and strain diplomatic relations with affected countries.
