In its first two weeks , the Trump administration has paused all humanitarian parole programs.

In the Bay Area , these programs protect a broad swath of migrants who legally reside in the U.S. While many are from Nicaragua and Venezuela , several hail from around the world, including Ukraine and Afghanistan .

Slashing these programs could result in an increase in immigrants relying on public services and push more to come illegally.
