Immigration advocates in New York have expressed outrage over the Biden administration's refusal to extend humanitarian parole for Cuban and Haitian immigrants, among others.
Last week, the US Department of Homeland Security announced that President Biden will not be extending the legal status of immigrants who arrived in the United States under the Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans (CHNV) humanitarian parole programme.
The CHNV programme allows sponsored individuals to live and work in the US legally for two years through humanitarian parole.
President and chief executive officer of the New York Immigration Coalition, Murad Awawdeh, said by not extending their parole, President Biden is turning his back on individuals who have become a fabric of their communities, working, paying taxes, and contributing to the country's economy.
