Trump Administration Revokes Residency for Over 500,000 Migrants

Migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela face deportation as civil rights oversight is dismantled and legal challenges mount.

The Trump administration has rescinded residency rights for approximately 532,000 migrants, requiring them to leave the U.S. by April 24, 2025, unless they secure legal status.
The CHNV program, which allowed legal entry for migrants from four countries, was terminated, increasing deportation risks for many individuals.
Venezuela has agreed to resume deportation flights from the U.S., while disputing claims that deported individuals are linked to criminal gangs.
The Department of Homeland Security has closed three civil rights divisions, raising concerns about reduced oversight in immigration enforcement.
Federal judges have issued rulings against certain deportations, including those conducted under the Alien Enemies Act, but the administration has continued deportation efforts despite these orders.
