The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 532,000 individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, affecting their ability to legally reside and work in the U.S. This decision, set to take effect in 60 days, will impact 200,000 Cubans, 113,000 Nicaraguans, 190,000 Venezuelans, and 28,000 Haitians. The move has sparked criticism from advocates who argue that these countries remain unsafe for return due to ongoing crises. The termination follows a review initiated by the Trump administration, with the Biden administration now tasked with managing the transition. Critics fear this could lead to family separations and increased deportations, while supporters of the decision believe it aligns with immigration enforcement. However, the administration has also introduced new parole processes for these nationalities, aiming to provide alternative legal pathways for entry into the U.S.
