Supreme Court Clears Path for Termination of CHNV Parole Programs

On May 30, 2025, the Supreme Court issued a significant decision allowing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to proceed with the termination of parole programs for nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, commonly referred to as the CHNV programs. This ruling lifted a preliminary injunction that had temporarily blocked DHS from implementing parts of a March 25, 2025, Federal Register notice aimed at ending these humanitarian parole initiatives. With the Court’s decision in Noem v. Svitlana Doe, DHS is now authorized to revoke both parole status and any employment authorization granted through the CHNV process.

According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), affected individuals will receive notice of parole termination and employment authorization revocation via their my USCIS accounts. This policy shift has immediate and potentially severe consequences for many who relied on these programs for lawful presence and work authorization in the United States. We encourage anyone impacted by this change to consult an immigration attorney as soon as possible to evaluate whether other forms of relief or adjustment may be available.
