"Experts and lawmakers are skeptical of his ability to do such a thing, just as they have been of the mass deportation promise laid out in the GOP's 2024 platform. "In general, deportation is for people who lack immigration status," Stephen Yale-Loehr, an immigration law professor at Cornell Law School, told Newsweek. "People here on parole or temporary protected status have a status, so they shouldn't be put into deportation proceedings unless a separate ground of deportability (e.g., a criminal conviction) applies to them." ... César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández, an immigration law professor at The Ohio State University, told Newsweek that Americans should take Trump and Vance at their word, and that they would end both Humanitarian Parole and TPS. "That said, I think they are underestimating, at least in their campaign rhetoric, how easy it will be to end those initiatives, and how easy it would be to forcibly remove all of the people who are in the United States," Hernández said."
