Hundreds of thousands of people in the United States under a program called humanitarian parole are at risk of being sent back to their home countries by the Trump administration.

News4 spoke with a man named Wuilman Vanegas who is one of those impacted.

“I cannot deny, you know, it’s been difficult,” Vanegas said. “It’s been like, stressful.”

Vanegas and his family moved to the U.S. 10 months ago on humanitarian parole, a Biden-era program that gives individuals temporary legal status for urgent humanitarian reasons or for significant public benefit.

Vanegas, who taught high schoolers in Nicaragua for 15 years, now works three part time jobs. He teaches Spanish at two grade schools, including one in Prince George’s County, and at Howard University.
