Trump admin live updates: Trump strikes deals with law firms totaling $600M

The Department of Homeland Security revoked parole status for those who used the CBP One App to obtain the status. The move puts over 900,000 migrants up for deportation.

Parole status is a two-year temporary authorization to be in the United States due to circumstances in the home country.

The CBP One App was a cornerstone of the Biden administration's immigration policy to limit the flow of migrants along the southwest border. Migrants who used the app could apply for parole status, and in some cases, were successful in getting it.

"The Biden administration abused the parole authority to allow millions of illegal aliens into the U.S. which further fueled the worst border crisis in U.S. history," a senior DHS spokesperson claimed.

Migrants received a formal email notification from DHS letting them know their parole was canceled, and that they should self deport. The termination does not apply to Operation Allies Welcome parolees and Uniting for Ukraine, according to DHS.

President Donald Trump is slated to meet with several House Republicans who are opposed to or skeptical of the Senate-approved budget blueprint at the White House Tuesday at 1 p.m ET, according to multiple sources.

This comes as House GOP leaders are trying to rally their conference around the budget blueprint so lawmakers can start drafting legislation and outline spending and tax cuts. The budget is central to Trump's domestic agenda.

"The president has been our best advocate to help get it passed," House Majority Leader Steve Scalise told ABC News as he entered a closed-door House Republican conference meeting on Tuesday morning.

On Monday, President Trump endorsed the measure and urged House Republicans to approve the plan "quickly." Speaker Mike Johnson is not expected to attend the White House meeting today, according to a source.

Last week, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that certain programs at HHS had been mistakenly cut in the effort to reduce the workforce by 10,000 roles, adding that the administration was willing to acknowledge when it made mistakes and remedy them.

But officials soon walked back Kennedy's comments and no significant numbers of employees have been hired back.

Asked on Monday whether any reinstatements were planned, Kennedy instead sought to describe programs as "consolidated" and insisted no "core" roles had been cut.

He didn't say, as he did last week, that roles were mistakenly cut or that they would be reinstated.

"We didn't cut any core programs or any critical care programs or any scientific programs," Kennedy said in response to a question from ABC News. "Those programs are being consolidated in the new agency that is going to make America healthy again."

Last week, when asked why a CDC program that monitored lead exposure among children was almost entirely gutted, Kennedy told ABC News that the department's work with DOGE meant "80% cuts, but 20% of those are going to have to be reinstalled, because we'll make mistakes."

"And one of the things that President Trump has said is that if we, if we make mistakes, we're going to admit it and we're going to remedy it, and that's one of the mistakes," Kennedy said.

But soon after, an HHS official clarified that the specific program Kennedy was asked about was not going to be brought back. The work would be moved to the newly-formed Administration for a Healthy America, the official said.

And later that week, a source confirmed that there were not, in fact, any further plans to hire back HHS employees agency wide, despite Kennedy's comments implying wider efforts to reinstate people.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday night offered employees the option to take one of three options to leave, including a buyout of up to $25,000.

In an email titled "Reshaping of the DHS workforce," Noem offered three voluntary routes for DHS employees to take advantage of if they wanted to leave the department. The email was obtained by ABC News.

The three initiatives are called the "workforce transition program," and the program has been approved for "immediate implementation."

The first is called the deferred resignation program, and it offers employees a "brief period of administrative leave" to complete "key tasks, submit retirement documentation and prepare for departure," according to the email.

The second is the early retirement program, which allows those eligible to retire early.

The final option is called the "Voluntary Separation Incentive Payment," according to the email.

"Often referred to as a 'buyout' this option offers a lump-sum payment of up to $25,000 (or an amount equal to severance pay) for employees in roles slated for voluntary departures," according to the email.

Noem said in the email that the department intends to provide "flexibility" for employees who "may be considering a change."

"If you believe any or all of these programs might be right for you, please watch for further announcements from your Component leadership or Human Resources office, where you will find more specific eligibility criteria, detailed instructions, and timelines. Your decision to apply for any of these programs will be due NLT 11:59 ET on April 14, 2025," the email said.

Law enforcement officers are generally exempt from the offers, Noem added.

Individual agencies have already started offering guidance about how the program applies to their workforce.
