The Trump administration is preparing to revoke legal status for many migrants who entered the United States under a Biden-era program, according to a source familiar with the planning, expanding the pool of people who could be deported.

This will revoke legal entry for over 530,000 and initiate deportation for those without additional immigration benefits.

Many of the migrants under threat spent months waiting in Mexico, at migrant shelters or in rented rooms, in cities that are rife with cartel violence and kidnappings, in order to enter the US with permission.
