The Trump administration will revoke the temporary legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans living in the United States, according to a Federal Register notice published Friday. The move, set to take effect on April 24, marks the latest expansion of Trump’s immigration crackdown.
The Trump administration is revoking the legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans

This decision cuts short the two-year “parole” program established under former President Joe Biden, which allowed these migrants to enter the U.S. by air if they had American sponsors.
Trump, a Republican, has aggressively ramped up immigration enforcement since returning to office, aiming to deport record numbers of undocumented migrants. He has argued that Biden’s parole programs exceeded federal legal authority and called for their termination in a January 20 executive order.
On March 6, Trump stated that he would make a decision “very soon” on whether to revoke parole status for approximately 240,000 Ukrainians who fled to the U.S. during the war with Russia. His remarks followed a Reuters report indicating that his administration was preparing to rescind their status as early as April.
Biden initially launched the parole program for Venezuelans in 2022 and later expanded it to Cubans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans in 2023 as part of efforts to curb illegal border crossings. Diplomatic and political tensions between these four countries and the U.S. have remained high.
By revoking legal status for half a million migrants, the Trump administration could expose many to deportation if they choose to remain in the U.S. It remains unclear how many parole recipients have since obtained another form of legal protection or residency status.
A notice scheduled for official publication in the Federal Register on Monday states that the Department of Homeland Security will use the revocation to facilitate fast-track deportations through the "expedited removal" process.
Under a policy reinstated in January, expedited removal can be applied to certain migrants who have been in the U.S. for two years or less.
