Three months before the November election in which Vice President Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee for president, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security says it is suspending a parole program she, as the president's "border czar," has overseen with DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
DHS announced on Friday that it was suspending flights it had been using for years to bring Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans into the country, who otherwise do not qualify for legal entry under current law.
"Out of an abundance of caution, DHS has temporarily paused the issuance of advanced travel authorizations for new beneficiaries while it undertakes a review of supporter applications. DHS will restart application processing as quickly as possible, with appropriate safeguards," DHS spokeswoman Erin Heeter said in a statement.
Mayorkas created the "CHNV parole program" to fly in hundreds of thousands of CHNV parolees at the taxpayer's expense. It's one of more than a dozen issues identified by the U.S. House on Homeland Security as evidence to impeach Mayorkas, The Center Square first reported.
