Looks like Trump really wants to piss off a group of people that reliably vote for him, because he is revoking the temporary protected status for over 500,000 people that come from a group that typically vote Republican – Cuban and Venezuelan migrants.
NBC is reporting that the move ends temporary legal status for more than 530,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. They were granted this protection by President Biden prior to his term ending and the program is set to expire on April 24th. People who were granted the ability to stay in the U.S. have been told that they “must depart the United States before their parole termination date.”
Homeland Security Secretary Barbie Puppy Killer Noem wrote that this termination fulfills Trump’s order to get rid of all the immigrants he doesn’t like and “complements and underscores the Administration’s pivot to a foreign policy that prioritizes the United States’ interests in a secure border.”
She went on to say that “These programs do not serve a significant public benefit, are not necessary to reduce levels of illegal immigration, did not sufficiently mitigate the domestic effects of illegal immigration, are not serving their intended purposes, and are inconsistent with the Administration’s foreign policy goals.”
DHS will “remove” people who entered the U.S. under this program and do not leave before April 24th.
