Elections 2024: President Joe Biden’s decision not to extend the humanitarian parole program, affecting immigrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, and Nicaragua, puts over half a million people at risk of deportation.
The Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) programs are also in danger of disappearing, potentially leaving three million immigrants vulnerable to expulsion by 2026, especially if Donald Trump returns to office.
A report by the National Foundation for American Policy predicts that 2.7 million individuals could face deportation during a second Trump administration, highlighting the uncertainty and challenges these immigrants would face if forced to return to their home countries. The analysis reveals the significant number of immigrants relying on these programs for legal status and protection.
The focus on Venezuelans and Haitians underscores the potential impact of Trump’s policies on these communities. With TPS and humanitarian parole expiring soon, many immigrants are at risk of being left in limbo without legal options.
The future remains uncertain for these vulnerable populations, with deportation looming as a real threat under any administration.
