According to a statement released by the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS) on Thursday, the Trump administration has begun notifying hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela that their temporary residence and employment authorization has been revoked and they are required to leave the country right away. The Biden administration’s humanitarian pardon system, which was instituted in October 2022, is currently being sent via email to those who have emigrated to the region. The software provided about 532, 000 people from the four countries with financial support for the two-year permits they needed to live and function in the US. DHS confirmed that the characters state that their work authorization and lawful status are then “effective quickly” terminated. Through a mobile application called CBP Home, the organization offered a travel stipend and a$ 1,000 payment upon return to their home country. It also offered to encourage those affected to voluntarily leave. The department did not provide any information regarding the organization’s process for tracking absences or payment distribution. The US Supreme Court ruled last month that the Trump administration had the authority to end the system, which the previous leader had vowed to end, by describing it as “broad abuse” of the charitable probation system. International Refugee’s president, KrishO’Mara Vignarajah, called the decision” a profound destabilizing decision.” These are people who “played by the rules,” said Zamora, a 34-year-old Caribbean family who immigrated to the US in 2023 as a result of the program.” They passed protection screenings, paid for their own journey, obtained function authorization, and began rebuilding their lives,” she said. She said,” I’m afraid to go back to Cuba because the situation there is very hard. Through the Cuban Adjustment Act, Zamora is requesting lasting citizenship, but it has not yet been granted. She continued,” I’m going to wait quietly without getting into trouble.”
