More than a million migrants who were allowed to enter the United States during the Biden administration may have their temporary stays revoked and be rapidly deported, according to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement document that became public Friday.
That includes hundreds of thousands of nationals from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti who came under a temporary humanitarian parole program set up by the Biden administration that allowed them to legally live and work in the U.S. for two years.
The ICE document, signed by Homeland Security Acting Secretary Benjamine C. Huffman, comes days after President Donald Trump issued an executive order that ended the Biden-era parole program and suspended the use of a phone application known as CBP One.
The app allowed migrants outside the United States to schedule appointments with immigration authorities to seek asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, after which many entered the country with parole. Just under one million people were paroled in at the border after using the CBP One app to request appointments.
