MIAMI — President Donald Trump’s administration has been issuing warnings to Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans, and Nicaraguans that their immigration status under a humanitarian program has changed.
While Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was in Los Angeles, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin released a statement on Thursday.
McLaughlin described the humanitarian parole programs as “disastrous” and the migrants affected as “more than half a million poorly vetted aliens.”
DHS announced the e-mail distribution of termination notices after the release of a flyer on Tuesday that refers to migrants as “foreign invaders.”
DHS has also been promoting the administration’s self-deportation program app.
The Supreme Court upheld the end of the parole program on May 30, 2025, which also revoked the migrants’ work permits.
In Los Angeles, the Secret Service removed U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, who is of Mexican descent, from Noem’s news conference after he said he had questions.
DHS released a statement saying Padilla “chose disrespectful political theater and interrupted a live news conference.”
On X, Padilla accused Trump of “terrorizing communities, breaking apart families, and putting American citizens in harm’s way.”
