15,645 Cubans entered US in July, down from 17,563 in June, prompting consideration of resuming humanitarian parole program.

15,645 Cubans entered the US in July, a slight decrease from June's 17,563 entries. The crisis in Cuba drives mass migration, prompting the US to consider restarting the humanitarian parole program after suspending it due to fraud concerns. Since its start in 2023, over 110,000 Cubans have been screened and authorized to travel legally to the US. The US Department of Homeland Security plans to resume the processing of applications for the CHNV humanitarian parole program, with safeguards to vet beneficiaries thoroughly before their arrival.
