On March 25, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a Federal Register notice terminating parole programs for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) as of April 24, 2025, unless Secretary Kristi Noem makes an individual determination to the contrary. This is being carried out pursuant to Executive Order 14165, titled “Securing Our Borders.”  The termination of these programs affects 532,000 individuals from these countries.  DHS will notify affected individuals through their online myUSCIS accounts.

Unless those under a CHNV program have a separate underlying immigration status to which they can revert, they will be deemed “undocumented” and subject to expedited removal (deportation) from the United States. The subjects of expedited removal do not appear before immigration judges for full hearings, making the deportation process swift.  Any work authorization issued to them will also end on April 24, 2025, even if their employment authorization documents contain later expiration dates.
