The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Thursday sent out termination notices to more than 500,000 migrants who were admitted to the United States under the Biden administration's parole program.

The Trump administration previously teased ending the Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans (CHNV) parole program back in March, but had not enforced it until Thursday. The program allowed up to 30,000 migrants from each of the countries to enter the United States each month if they had a stateside sponsor.

The DHS said the termination notices, which were sent to emails the migrants listed on their applications, inform migrants that both their parole and parole-based employment authorization is immediately revoked. 

“The Biden Administration lied to America," Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. "They allowed more than half a million poorly vetted aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and their immediate family members to enter the United States through these disastrous parole programs; granted them opportunities to compete for American jobs and undercut American workers; forced career civil servants to promote the programs even when fraud was identified; and then blamed Republicans in Congress for the chaos that ensued and the crime that followed. 

“Ending the CHNV parole programs, as well as the paroles of those who exploited it, will be a necessary return to common-sense policies, a return to public safety, and a return to America First," she added.

The department also urged all migrants who receive the notice, if they have not already obtained legal status some other way, to immediately self-deport through its app, which would give them travel assistance and a $1,000 bonus.
