Citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela are no longer covered by Temporary Protected Status.
The Department of Homeland Security has begun sending notices to people who came to the U.S. from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela under Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The foreign citizens are being advised to self-deport now that the parole and work authorizations granted by President Biden’s administration have been revoked.
At the end of last month, the Supreme Court upheld the cancellation of the expanded migrant program by President Donald Trump’s administration.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, “This program was abused by the previous administration to admit hundreds of thousands of poorly vetted illegal aliens into the United States.”
Assistant Secretary McLaughlin continued, “They allowed more than half a million poorly vetted aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and their immediate family members to enter the United States through these disastrous parole programs.”
DHS has offered a $1,000 incentive to those who self-deport through the CBP Home app, which will also allow them the possibility of applying for asylum in the future. Those who are forcibly removed will face fines and not be allowed to apply for reentry to the U.S.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Kristi Noem to seek God’s guidance as she heads the Department of Homeland Security.
- For DHS officials as they work to facilitate the self-deportation of those who entered the U.S. under the TPS program.
