United States President Donald J. Trump has revoked the humanitarian parole programme, known as the CHNV programme, for people from Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
“This decision will categorically end the protection and legal status of 530,000 people who arrived in the United States under parole status,” said Murad Awawdeh, president and chief executive officer of the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC).
He said the CHNV programme allowed qualified nationals from these countries to live and work in the US through sponsorship by a US citizen or permanent resident for two years.
