Homeland Security Email Tells a US Citizen to ‘Immediately’ Self-Deport

The Trump administration has sought to revoke the parole of some 532,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans who entered the US under a Biden-era humanitarian parole program. While it moved to subject them to expedited deportation effective April 24, on Thursday a federal judge in Boston said she would issue a protective order blocking that attempt. The order may complicate the instructions in the email, which stipulates that it does not apply to people who “have otherwise obtained a lawful basis to remain” in the US.

CBP’s Beckham did not immediately respond to WIRED’s questions about whether the court order would impact any recipients of the email.

Attorney Lauren Regan, founder and executive director of the nonprofit Civil Liberties Defense Center, tells WIRED that the lack of clarity about whether the revocation of temporary parole applies to the recipient of the email is likely causing fear and confusion among many immigrants, especially those without access to adequate legal guidance.

“So many people don’t have a lawyer, or their lawyer has 6,000 clients,” Regan says, which “completely overloads” the attorneys who often provide pro bono legal services to immigrants.

“A lot of people that are here on parole status don’t know the nuances of immigration law, so they get this email and they don’t know if it applies to them,” Micheroni says. “And most of them assume that it does because everything is really scary for people right now.”

It’s also unclear whether the email is related to recent efforts by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). In an April 10 post on X, DOGE claimed that “CBP identified a subset of 6.3k individuals paroled into the United States since 2023 on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center watchlist or with criminal records. These paroles have since been terminated with immediate effect.”

Beckham did not immediately respond to questions about whether the email was intended for these 6,300 individuals, nor did she answer WIRED’s questions about how many people received the email.

Then there’s the matter of the email being an email at all, Regan says, adding that “it is absolutely not common” for a change in legal immigration status to arrive via email, which typically happens in person or via certified mail. “People would think it’s a phishing email or something not legitimate,” Regan says. Also, the fact that the email does not appear to have been first posted on a government website added to questions about its authenticity.

“Normally if the government is going to change a practice, they would first do it on their websites,” Regan says, adding, “but the fact that this was not on the website first and then sent out as a direct communication is very, very unusual.”

Regan also notes that many immigrants do not have email addresses, and therefore couldn’t receive the communication in the first place.

Even for Micheroni, a US citizen and immigration attorney, the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement practices have made life less stable. The email only made matters worse.

“I have gotten some serious inquiries from my parents or other family members or friends being like, ‘what do I do if you stop answering me or if you disappear? Like, who do you want me to call?’” she says.

“And if people in my life are feeling this way, and this is what I do, I know a lot about it,” Micheroni adds. “I can’t imagine what it’s like for people that don’t fully understand immigration law.”
