The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it is ending the parole programs for citizens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV programs) that were previously established. These programs allowed certain inadmissible individuals and their families to enter the U.S. for urgent reasons or significant public benefit. DHS decided to terminate these programs due to insufficient benefits, increased illegal immigration, and inconsistency with the current administration’s policy goals. Notice of termination is effective as of March 25, 2025, requiring individuals under these programs to leave the U.S. by April 24, 2025, unless individual extensions are granted.
Simple Explanation
DHS has decided to stop letting people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela use special permission to stay in the U.S., because it wasn't working well and not fitting with current rules.
