The Biden administration could soon reactivate the humanitarian parole program, several media outlets in the United States have reported, including NBC News and The Washington Times.
This program, which allowed applicants from Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Haiti to enter the country under legal status, was recently suspended due to suspicions of massive fraud.
Sources familiar with the matter told NBC News that the program’s revival could happen as early as this week, although there are still thousands of suspicious applications to be reviewed.
This information has been corroborated by other American media, which underlines the importance of this issue for many immigrants and their families, he said in a video YouTube journalist Mario J. Pentón.
The Biden administration temporarily suspended parole
Last month, the Biden administration announced the temporary suspension of the program to conduct detailed investigations into sponsorships, including halting the issuance of travel permits, a move that caused great concern among beneficiaries.
Pentón, a journalist for Martí Noticias, said that he has tried to obtain an official response from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on the future of the program, but so far, the agency has declined to comment. However, they had previously indicated that they were “working to reactivate the program as soon as possible.”
The possible reactivation is good news for many migrants hoping to enter the United States under the humanitarian parole program. Parole is a kind of lifeline for those seeking refuge amid crisis situations in their home countries.
Official figures from the Customs and Border Protection Office (CBP) indicate that 110,000 Cubans have been examined and authorized to travel to the United States since the start of the program in 2023 and until July 2024.
