DHS announced it is terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for about 5,000 Ethiopian citizens and ending the family reunification parole (FRP) programs that allowed nationals of seven Latin American and Caribbean countries to remain in the United States while their relatives' visas were processed.Kristi Noem said the changes respond to alleged program abuses, security gaps and improved conditions in Ethiopia, and USCIS said it will dismantle categorical parole and restore parole only on a stricter case-by-case basis; critics such as Aaron Reichlin-Melnick argued that forcing people to leave while awaiting visa decisions is illogical and harmful.Affected migrants risk losing parole-based work authorization and must either find another legal basis to stay or prepare to depart soon, USCIS will notify beneficiaries individually, and a sizable share of immigrants report fearing detention or deportation as a result.
