Trump admin to end immigration program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans

Summary: The Trump administration has announced that it will revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela by the end of April. This program, which had allowed hundreds of thousands of migrants to work in the U.S. due to crises in their home countries, currently benefits approximately 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians. Federal lawsuits are pending to block the termination of the program.

The decision to end TPS is part of Trump’s strict immigration policies, aiming to reduce illegal immigration and enforce mass deportations. Critics, including migrant advocates, call the move "racist" and argue that it unjustly targets vulnerable communities. The revocation will particularly impact those who have relied on TPS to stay in the U.S. and could lead to deportations. The program’s termination is also criticized for exacerbating immigration challenges and creating a substantial undocumented population without clear paths to legal status.
