Trump Threatens to Revoke Humanitarian Parole, Putting Hundreds of Thousands of Immigrants at Risk
Article:
The temporary humanitarian parole program, allowing individuals to enter or remain in the United States, faces an uncertain future with the incoming administration of Donald Trump. The program, established by the Department of Homeland Security in 2022, has enabled 494,799 arrivals as of June 2024. However, Trump has expressed deep opposition to the initiative and announced a radical measure that could imperil the presence of hundreds of thousands of foreigners in the country.
The parole humanitarismo allows individuals to enter or stay in the U.S. for two years, despite being inadmissible or ineligible for legal entry. Initially created in April 2022 for Ukrainians fleeing war with Russia, the program was expanded in October 2022 to include Venezuelans. In early 2023, Cubans, Haitians, and Nicaraguenses were added due to their significant representation among irregular immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. Participation requires sponsorship and financial backing, with beneficiaries receiving an Advanced Parole Travel Authorization (ATA) to enter the U.S.
Trump, during his presidential campaign, pledged a hardline stance against mass immigration. He recently expressed his intention to revoke the humanitarian parole permits of those who entered using the CBP One mobile app. "I’d revoke them and expel them," he said in an interview with Fox News. "The app is bad, but the flights are even worse… They’re now transporting illegal immigrants to all over the country, turning the entire Midwest into a border state."
The Republican candidate considers immigration a threat to the security and stability of American communities.
