Not that it is a surprise but we have the first (that I know) **official** statement from Trump that he will revoke the paroles granted under the various Biden Admin parole initiatives, including CBPOne & CHNV, and the standard 212d5 granted by CBP mostly in 2021 and early 2022. ⬇️

That could be a trully "day-one" stroke of the pen executive action and there will be no recourse for it. None!

The only ones that could possibly be challenged in court would be the U4U and Afghan parole programs as these two have statutory authorisations or sorta.

The termination of a 212d5 parole is entirely at the unfettered discretion of DHS and returns the person in the status the grantee had prior to the grant of parole and is subject to be taken into custody.

For all the CBPOne and CHNV parolees that prior status is "applicant for admission" and because of the entry fiction, the person is considered to still be at the border despite their physical presence in the US and with that goes out judicial review and 5th amendment protections per Thuraissigiam.

It is true that they will never be able to detain and "remove" close to 2Mil parolees but ppl who make this point underestimate the action and reaction aspect that we saw during Trump's first term, where a huge number of people left voluntarily because of draconian policies that made daily life impossible to bear and bc pure fear of being arrested and detained for months in punitive immigration detention.

let me explain ---

* if parole is terminated, with the termination disappear the ability to obtain work permits (unless another basis exists independent from parole).

* without a parole over a year, disappears the eligibility for federal benefits and state benefits funded in part by fed appropriations.

What Biden Admin did not tell all these ppl who were paroled or issued NTA is that the vast majority of them have no path to status. (exceptions are Cubans and spouses/adult kids fo USCs).

CHNV parolees also do not have sponsors w signed I-864 affidavit of support (which allows a non-citizen to sue their sponsor for the support they agreed to provide) so these ppl have absolutely no claim or recourse vs the "supporters" that filed their application in the first place.

with no work permits, no support, no services, and facing the prospect of punitive immigration detention or endless ankle monitoring, I will guarantee you that a lot of ppl will leave. This is what Stephen Miller counts on.
