Summary

Donald Trump revoked the temporary legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, effective April 24, ending a parole program initiated under President Joe Biden.

The program allowed migrants to enter the U.S. legally if they had sponsors. The revocation could make migrants vulnerable to deportation through “expedited removal.”

Trump claims Biden’s programs exceeded legal authority and signals potential revocation of similar status for 240,000 Ukrainians.

Critics warn the move could destabilize migrant communities and strain diplomatic relations with affected countries.

    I didn’t realise the 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans temporary legal status gave them the right to vote?

        So by those people, you meant those people’s families. Which means not them. And also probably not their families. Perhaps the 42% of Cubans who didn’t vote for Trump are the Cubans whose families are being deported.
