Robert, a Cuban resident in Miami who voted for Donald Trump in the last elections, is living an environment of uncertainty after the possibility that the new administration revokes the legal status of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela that entered United States under the humanitarian Parole program implemented during the government of Joe Biden.
This program, established under the presidency of Biden, has been a crucial route for many Cubans to meet their families in US territory. Robert, who sponsored six relatives under this program, fears now that his loved ones can be deported. The situation has generated anguish, especially among those who arrived in the country with the hope of a better life, but now they see their stability at risk.
“I am 100% Republican, I voted for Donald Trump, but this kind of thing seems to me that he is going from his hands,” Robert confessed. After sponsoring his parents and other relatives, the young man thought they would have achieved an opportunity to live without the tensions of the Cuban regime, but now faces an uncertain panorama.
Robert’s concern and his family has grown due to radical changes in immigration policy that have been implemented in the first weeks of Trump’s second term. Under the new measures, the administration prepares to revoke the legal status of thousands of migrants, which would affect those who entered under the humanitarian parole, which granted them two years of permission to work legally and, in the case of Cubans , allowed them to apply to the adjustment law to obtain permanent residence.
Robert’s mother, who suffers from anxiety, is particularly affected by the situation. The fear of a possible deportation generates panic even with the simplest noises, such as the sound of a plane. The uncertainty about his future and that of his family is seriously affecting his emotional well -being.
Although there is no official confirmation that the new administration will revoke the humanitarian parole, immigration experts warn that the government has the authority to cancel this program at any time. “The Government always has the right to cancel Parole, even if it is in force. If that happened, people would be exposed to a deportation process, ”explained an immigration lawyer consulted by Univisión.
This change could also affect those who entered the United States through the CBP One application from Mexico. In addition, migrant sponsors who entered under Parole could receive letters notifying them about the immigration status of the beneficiaries. However, those who are already permanent residents or have requested asylum would not face risks, since their status would not be in danger.
