The Trump administration is preparing to revoke the legal status of many of the migrants who were allowed to come to the U.S. legally from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela under former President Joe Biden, according to internal government documents reviewed by CBS News. The proposal by the Department of Homeland Security, spelled out in an unpublished notice, would fully terminate a Biden administration program that allowed more than 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans to fly to the U.S.
Main Idea: The Trump administration is planning to end a Biden-era immigration program and strip legal status from many migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
Key Points:
Revoking legal status could push hundreds of thousands of workers into deportation cases, cut labor supply, and disrupt families, landlords, and local businesses.
The change could reduce pressure on some public services and answer voters who want stricter immigration enforcement.
