The US State Department said that Central Americans and Haitians granted temporary status, some who have lived in the country for 20 years, could now be sent to their home countries.
They had originally been given Temporary Protected Status because their nations had been deemed unstable due to armed conflict and natural disasters.
But the Washington Post reported that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has ruled those conditions no longer apply.
According to the paper, Donald Trump’s administration has stressed the programme was never meant to allow permanent residency in America.
An official said: “It is fair to say that this administration is interpreting the law, exactly as it is, which the previous one did not.
