Trump revokes legal status for 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's administration will revoke the temporary legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans in the United States, according to a Federal Register notice on Friday, the latest expansion of his crackdown on immigration.

It will be effective April 24.

The move cuts short a two-year "parole" granted to the migrants under former President Joe Biden that allowed them to enter the country by air if they had U.S. sponsors.

Trump, a Republican, took steps to ramp up immigration enforcement after taking office, including a push to deport record numbers of migrants in the U.S. illegally. He has argued that the legal entry parole programs launched under his Democratic predecessor overstepped the boundaries of federal law and called for their termination in a January 20 executive order.

Trump said on March 6 that he would decide "very soon" whether to strip the parole status from some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled to the U.S. during the conflict with Russia. Trump's remarks came in response to a Reuters report that said his administration planned to revoke the status for Ukrainians as soon as April.

Boundaries for thee, but not for me.

Cubans have always supported Republicans in overwhelming numbers. Is he trying to drive voters away from him and the Republican party? This could help make a difference in the Special Election in Florida District 6 which is over 14% Hispanic/Latino.

Close to 70,000 South Africans have expressed interest in moving to the US following Washington's offer to resettle people from the country's Afrikaner community, a business group has said.
The South African Chamber of Commerce in the USA (Saccusa) said its website received tens of thousands of registrations from those seeking more information.
In a February executive order, President Donald Trump said Afrikaners - descendants of mainly Dutch settlers who arrived in the 17th Century - could be admitted as refugees as they were "victims of unjust racial discrimination".
