  • U.S. President Donald Trump's administration will revoke the temporary legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans in the United States, according to a Federal Register notice on Friday,

The article discusses a significant policy change by former President Donald Trump in 2017, where he revoked the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 530,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

The revocation was part of Trump's broader immigration policy aimed at reducing what he described as "extended amnesty" programs. Critics argued that this move would lead to the deportation of long-term residents, disrupt families, and negatively impact local economies where these immigrants had integrated. The decision faced legal challenges, with courts temporarily blocking the termination of TPS for some of these countries, highlighting the contentious nature of immigration policy under the Trump administration.
