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.

    So people who were in here legally during the last administration will be considered here illegally because “I didn’t like what the previous guy did”. Why would anyone think any legal document coming from the US is legitimate if they can do this? Our futures are being sabotaged.

    He’s alienating Cubans too, now? That could be electorally ruinous for Republicans if free and fair elections ever happen again. Big if, though.

      I don’t think it matters. The people who voted for him could watch Trump shoot their spouse in the face and still be like “ya but he tells it like it is.”

      If they planned on having anymore elections this would be a concern but sense they are not he doesn’t give a shit. I think he was truthful when he told his followers they never have to vote again.
