On March 25, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security terminated the parole program that had allowed more than 500,000 citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela into the United States over the past two years. (See our blog dated March 26, 2025.) Under the March 25 termination, these individuals were required to depart the United States by April 24, and their work authorization would expire on April 24, regardless of the expiration date printed on their employment authorization document (EAD).
