- CHNV parole remains valid! The Trump Administration had announced that individuals who entered under the CHNV parole program (also referred to as the “Biden program”) would lose protection and work authorization on April 24, 2025. A federal judge has put this on hold! This means that individuals who entered through CHNV and whose parole has not yet expired or been terminated, continue to remain in valid parole status for the remainder of their parole period, and their work permits also continue to be valid until their expiration dates. Litigation is ongoing so of course all of this is subject to change. WBUR: Boston judge to block federal termination of humanitarian parole for Haitians, others
