(AFP) \u2014 The United States said Friday it was terminating the legal status of hundreds of thousands of immigrants, giving them weeks to leave the country.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

President Donald Trump has pledged to carry out the largest deportation campaign in US history and curb immigration, mainly from Latin American nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order affects around 532,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans who came to the United States under a scheme launched in October 2022 by Trump\u2019s predecessor Joe Biden and expanded in January the following year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

They will lose their legal protection 30 days after the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s order is published in the Federal Register, which is scheduled Tuesday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That means immigrants sponsored by the program \u201cmust depart the United States\u201d by April 24 unless they have secured another immigration status allowing them to remain in the country, the order says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome.US, which supports people seeking refuge in the United States, urged those affected by the move to \u201cimmediately\u201d seek advice from an immigration lawyer.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans (CHNV) program, announced in January 2023, allowed entry to the United States for two years for up to 30,000 migrants per month from the four countries, which have grim human rights records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden touted the plan as a \u201csafe and humane\u201d way to ease pressure on the crowded US-Mexico border.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But the Department of Homeland Security stressed Friday that the scheme was \u201ctemporary.\u201d<\/p>
