Governor Kay Ivey on Tuesday led a letter, with 24 other governors, to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to express strong concern over the Biden-Harris Administration’s Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans (CHNV) asylum program, and demanding details of location and status of those granted asylum under the program.

“The impact of this ‘parole’ program has been the sudden influx of foreign nationals throughout our states and communities,” wrote the governors. “The unexplainable lack of any communication from your Administration over arrival times, duration of residency, legal status, and location of these ‘parolees’ has created considerable confusion and alarm among local officials and the general public. In the absence of direction from DHS, law enforcement and municipal leaders have often been left to rely upon news reports and social media posts to determine size and location of incoming migrant populations in order to assess what impact they may have on already limited government services including local public schools.”
