In recent weeks, the Trump administration has implemented significant changes to several humanitarian immigration programs that affect hundreds of thousands of individuals seeking protection in the United States. These changes include:
- Termination of the Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan (CHNV) Humanitarian Parole Program
- Implementation of an “administrative pause” on processing applications for immigration benefits from humanitarian parolees
- Termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for certain Venezuelans
- Termination of Haiti’s TPS designation, effective August 3, 2025
These policy shifts represent substantial changes to the U.S. immigration landscape and will have immediate consequences for affected individuals, their families, and U.S. employers. This alert analyzes these developments and outlines critical actions U.S. employers must take regarding their employees’ work authorization, including I-9 reverification requirements and appropriate E-Verify procedures.
