Immigration Policy Tightens as SSA Reviews Migrants' Parole Status
The Social Security Administration joins Trump's strict immigration agenda, reviewing the status of hundreds of thousands of migrants previously granted temporary parole during Biden's presidency.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is now intervening in President Donald Trump’s rigorous immigration enforcement initiative, becoming a pivotal federal entity in his comprehensive deportation strategy.
Currently, the SSA is scrutinizing the cases of hundreds of thousands of migrants who received temporary parole status under the Biden administration, a designation that allowed these individuals to obtain Social Security numbers and access legal employment opportunities in the U.S. The review process under Trump aims to identify who no longer meets the qualifications to remain in the country.
“This is the Trump administration utilizing every available resource to tighten the screws on illegal immigration,” stated Tom Jones, executive director of the American Accountability Foundation, in remarks to Fox News Digital.
This development underscores Trump's commitment to his 2024 campaign pledge to reinforce border security and revoke benefits granted through Biden-era executive actions. Migrants who were authorized to work via the parole program now find themselves facing possible removal if they do not meet the stringent legal requirements established by Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
While critics warn of impending legal challenges, particularly from immigrant advocacy groups, proponents argue that it is essential to retract unwarranted leniency that previously granted federal privileges to non-citizens lacking permanent residency status.
Trump’s stance is explicit: no government agency is exempt, and every federal entity will be mobilized to uphold immigration laws and safeguard taxpayer-funded resources.
