Letitia James filed a brief to uphold an order preventing the federal government from mass-terminating humanitarian parole for more than 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The CHNV parole program, created by DHS, allows individuals from these countries to enter the U.S. for humanitarian reasons. The brief was supported by 15 other state attorneys general and the City and County of San Francisco. James emphasizes the important role humanitarian parolees play in supporting the economy and contributing positively to communities.
Humanitarian parole exists to support vulnerable individuals and families who have come to our country seeking safety and a better life. To suddenly strip thousands of parolees of their status would be cruel and unfair.
These individuals contribute to our economy, support our health care system, and enrich communities across New York and nationwide. My office is fighting to protect humanitarian parolees, their families, and the communities that depend on them.
