Under President Trump’s directive, the Social Security Administration is scrutinizing the status of hundreds of thousands of migrants previously granted temporary parole, a move aligning with his immigration enforcement strategy.

The Social Security Administration is now involved in reviewing the status of migrants who received temporary parole under the Biden administration
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is stepping into the realm of immigration enforcement, aligning itself with President Donald Trump’s rigorous approach to deportation. This marks a significant shift as the agency begins to assess the status of numerous migrants who were granted temporary parole during the Biden administration, which allowed them access to Social Security numbers and legal employment opportunities within the United States.
In a focused effort to determine who no longer meets the qualifications for residency, the SSA is conducting reviews of these cases. “This is the Trump administration leveraging every resource available to combat illegal immigration,” noted Tom Jones, executive director of the American Accountability Foundation, in a dialogue with Fox News Digital.
This initiative underscores Trump’s commitment to his 2024 campaign objectives, particularly his pledge to tighten border security and eliminate benefits awarded through previous executive actions by the Biden administration. Many migrants who benefitted from the work authorization linked to the parole program may now face reevaluation for deportation if they do not satisfy the stringent legal criteria established by Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
While proponents of the policy argue that it is a necessary return to stricter immigration control, critics warn that such actions may encounter substantial legal challenges, particularly from organizations advocating for immigrant rights. The clear message from Trump’s administration is that no agency will remain untouched, and all sectors of the federal government will collaborate closely to enforce immigration laws and safeguard taxpayer-funded resources.
