The Republican-led Homeland Security Committee is subpoenaing the Department of Homeland Security to demand more information about migrants with potential terrorism links who have crossed the southern border into the U.S.
A U.S. program that let migrants apply for asylum from their home countries that was paused because of potential mass fraud may be revived by the Biden administration as soon as this week, even though thousands of suspect applications still need review, two sources told NBC News. The Biden administration announced last month that an 18-month-old program that had let Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans apply for legal entry and temporary work authorization in the U.S.
under CHNV, according to data from DHS. It is unclear from the report how many of those successful applicants were brought into the U.S. with the help of the 3,200 “serial sponsors.” It is also unclear whether the 101,000 applications that were flagged for review were from people who have now entered the U.S. or people whose applications were rejected or a mixture. The number of migrants who applied under the program for Ukrainians is not specified.
