On May 30, 2025, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end the CHNV humanitarian parole program and terminate legal status for CHNV newcomers. This means CHNV parole is no longer valid, and the government can start deportation unless someone secured protection from deportation through another legal status, such as a pending asylum application.

If a newcomer you know is impacted by this decision:

• Get legal help immediately: All individuals with a primary status of humanitarian parole should consult an immigration attorney immediately. Find an immigration attorney through the American Immigration Lawyers’ Association search tool.
• Consult our parole termination resources hub, which includes resources to understand newcomers’ rights and possible next steps.

Sponsors can consult our guide to alternative legal options for humanitarian parolees to seek professional legal counsel.

With the pause of the U4U program and the end of the CHNV program, pending applications or approved sponsorships for newcomers that have not arrived will not be processed.

The programs are not accepting new applications, pending applications will not be processed, and no new travel authorizations are being issued. We are closely monitoring official updates and will share further information as it becomes available.

If you have questions about a specific case, you can ask your congressional representatives to follow up directly with USCIS on your behalf. Use our guide for information on how.

On May 28, a federal judge ordered DHS to restart processing immigration applications for people in the U.S. with humanitarian parole, including those in U4U and CHNV. This means these individuals can once again apply for things like asylum and work permits (EADs), and already-filed applications can move forward.

However, on May 30, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end CHNV humanitarian parole, meaning CHNV beneficiaries may face deportation unless they have secured protection from deportation through another legal status, such as a pending asylum application.

It’s not clear how long the court orders and policies will last or how DHS will apply them.

Applying for an alternative status is important to protect your ability to stay in the U.S. People with pending applications can check their status through their myUSCIS account and should consult a legal expert as soon as possible.

We are tracking the lawsuit, Doe v. Noem, that challenged the U.S. government’s actions to end humanitarian parole processes including CHNV and U4U. We will provide updates once a final order is made. For more up-to-date information, you can follow the case here.

On March 25, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the decision to terminate the humanitarian parole status for people sponsored through the CHNV program. This public notice serves as notice of the termination of parole status for those who arrived through CHNV and if their primary status is humanitarian parole. DHS also provided individual notices to each parolee through their USCIS account.

Termination of parole was supposed to take effect on April 24, 2025. However, a federal judge temporarily halted termination while reviewing the legality of DHS’s termination decision. On May 30, the Supreme Court lifted the temporary halt, which means that the Trump Administration's decision to end humanitarian parole for people sponsored through the CHNV program can move forward and the government can begin deportation proceedings.

All individuals who arrived in the U.S. through CHNV should seek advice from an immigration attorney immediately to determine if they already have alternative legal status, or, if not, what viable options remain for them.

The May 30 Supreme Court ruling allowed the government to end CHNV humanitarian parole immediately. This means employment authorization based on CHNV parole has ended.

If the individual has work authorization based on a different legal status (such as asylum or TPS), it will not be affected.
