President Trump is set to cancel the temporary legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans residing in the country.

President Donald Trump announced his decision to revoke the temporary legal statuses of 530,000 Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants living in the United States.

The decision will come into effect on April 24, following the expiration of the two-year “conditional release” period that allowed migrants to enter the country via air travel if they had American sponsors, a policy put in place during former President Joe Biden’s administration.

The 530,000 migrants were brought to the US under the sponsorship process initiated during Joe Biden’s term to open legal migration pathways. Upon taking office, Trump suspended this program. It is unclear how many of these migrants were able to obtain another status to legally remain in the US during this time, according to Reuters. The program was launched in 2022 during Democratic President Joe Biden’s administration, initially covering Venezuelans and later expanded to include migrants from other countries.
