After national outcry, Trump officials reverses decision to end humanitarian parole for four-year-old and family
The Trump administration has reversed its decision to revoke the legal status of a four-year-old girl, receiving ongoing life-saving treatment in the US, and her family after a national outcry.
Deysi Vargas, her husband and their daughter – whom lawyers identified by the pseudonym Sofia – had come to the US in 2023 to seek medical care for their daughter who has a rare condition that requires specialized treatment. But in April, the federal government ended their humanitarian parole, a temporary status granted to people on urgent humanitarian grounds, and ordered them to “self-deport”.
