Memo from Benjamine C. Huffman, Acting Secretary
“On January 20, 2025, I signed a memorandum entitled Exercising appropriate Discretion Under Parole Authority. That memorandum clarifies DHS’s position regarding the scope of the parole statute, 8 U.S.C. § 1182( d)(5), and directs a variety of actions to implement the memorandum. The memorandum also authorizes DHS components to pause, modify, or terminate, effective immediately, any parole program that is inconsistent with the memorandum-subject to certain conditions designed to ensure any such actions are lawful.”
