The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has reopened processing of benefits, including applications for asylum and employment-based green cards, for immigrants admitted under Biden-era humanitarian parole programs like the program for Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan parolees, as well as the United for Ukraine and Family Unification Parole programs. The resumption comes in response to litigation brought by a group of immigrants and U.S. citizen sponsors challenging the Trump Administration’s plans to dismantle those programs and a February 14 memo freezing adjudication of benefits for recipients.
