Trump administration tells immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela they have to leave
By GISELA SALOMONUpdated 4:22 PM CDT, June 12, 2025
MIAMI (AP) — The Department of Homeland Security said Thursday that it has begun notifying hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans that their temporary permission to live and work in the United States has been revoked and that they should leave the country.
The termination notices are being sent by email to people who entered the country under the humanitarian parole program for the four countries, officials said.
Since October 2022, about 532,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela were allowed to enter the U.S. under the program created by the Biden administration. They arrived with financial sponsors and were given two-year permits to live and work in the U.S.
DHS said that the letters informed people that both their temporary legal status and their work permit was revoked “effective immediately.” It encouraged any person living illegally in the U.S. to leave using a mobile application called CBP Home and said that individuals will receive travel assistance and $1,000 upon arrival at their home country.
The department did not provide details on how the U.S. government will find or contact the people once they leave or how they will receive the money.
