The Department of Homeland Security sent an email this week informing people living in the US on a temporary legal status that their "parole" has been revoked and instructed them to leave the country "immediately" The email was also addressed to at least one US citizen, an immigration attorney from Massachusetts .

It remains unclear who must abide by the email's instructions, or why it was delivered via email at all.

DOGE claimed a subset of 6,300 individuals paroled into the U.S. since 2023 on the FBI 's Terrorist Screening Center watchlist or with criminal records had been terminated with immediate effect.

The email does not appear to have been first posted on a government website, which adds to questions about authenticity.
