Legal Challenges to Deportation Efforts
New legal challenges are emerging regarding the deportation of over 500,000 migrants who entered the U.S. under a Biden administration program. This program provided humanitarian parole to individuals from countries like Venezuela and Nicaragua, allowing them to obtain legal status and work permits.
