Over 500,000 immigrants may face deportation as Trump revokes legal status

Over half a million legal migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, may face deportation from 24 April.

Trump has been cracking down on deportations for undocumented migrants in the US since he took office in late January. The US President has now suspended the CHNV programme, brought into effect during Biden's term, that gave thousands of migrants' temporary legal status. Over half a million migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, may lose their protection from 24 April.

Also in the programme: Israel's Supreme Court has blocked Prime Minister's Netanyahu's plan to fire Shin Bet head, Ronen Bar. Yaakov Amidror, a former Israeli National Security Advisor and Major General in the army, shares his thoughts.

Joining presenter Julian Worricker are Yu Jie, Senior Research Fellow on China at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and Lewis Halsey, a Professor of Environmental Physiology at the University of Roehampton.
