The US Coast Guard is taking President Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant mandate seriously, announcing this week it will step up patrols in migrant-prone crossings.
More than a million migrants who were allowed to enter the United States during the Biden administration may have their temporary stays revoked and be rapidly deported, according to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement document that became public Friday.
President Trump has ended programs that brought nearly a million and a half people from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela and Nicaragua. The legal status of these immigrants, who often fled violence and war, is now in jeopardy. We get the latest from NPR's Sergio Martínez-Beltrán.
Migrants allowed into the U.S. temporarily under certain Biden administration programs can be quickly expelled, according to a memo sent by the Trump administration's acting secretary of homeland security.
A memo appears to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials to target programs that let in more than a million people.
Under the Biden administration, migrants from embattled countries could apply for entry for humanitarian reasons, without having to attempt to cross into the U.S. illegally.
The president sought to end a program that allowed migrants fleeing Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti to fly into the United States and remain in the country for up to two years.
For weeks, lawyers and advocates, worried about President Donald Trump’s promised immigration crackdown, have been telling asylum seekers and migrants temporarily paroled into the United States to keep their documents with them at all times in case they are stopped by overzealous cops or immigration agents.
President Donald Trump has announced plans to use Guantanamo Bay, the U.S. naval base in Cuba, as a detention site for immigrants.
Trump says he’ll send the ‘worst’ criminal migrants to Guantanamo. Guantanamo Bay detention center was used to house those who the U.S. suspected as terrorists.
The Trump administration ended the CHNV humanitarian parole program, which allowed migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Haiti to enter the U.S. legally for up to two years, leaving current beneficiaries at risk of losing legal status once their parole periods expire.
