According to the news, the Trump administration sent out a notice on April 3 telling refuges "DHS is now exercising its discretion to terminate your parole. Unless it expires sooner, your parole will terminate 7 days from the date of this notice." Trump administration later apologized for this stating that it was an error.

Very clear and concise, and it's sad to see such a mistake as many who received this probably didn't see the retraction letter stating the mistake and had already begun to prepare to leave believing that they were about to be deported despite being a part of the program that let them in.

I appreciate this fact check. Here are two more links to other typically reputable sources (Reuters and The Washington Post) that confirm this development and add more context.

I appresate how concised your answer is but I fear that leaves room for miscommunication or a lack of depth. I would say to gain a few more sources to get other perpectives and take in to consideration the bia of each source especally when talking about a heavy topic like politics where opioions tend to control the movement of the conversation.
