DHS proposes to limit discretionary work permits for parolees and people with deferred action
The proposed rule would limit and clarify eligibility for discretionary employment authorization. It is a proposal and is not in force.
The Department of Homeland Security proposes to limit and clarify eligibility for discretionary employment authorization for three groups: aliens paroled into the United States temporarily for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit, aliens granted deferred action, and aliens with a final order of removal who are released on an order of supervision.
DHS also proposes that applicants who admit to committing, have been arrested for, or have been convicted of certain criminal acts do not warrant a favorable exercise of discretion unless there are significant countervailing public interests. Comments were accepted through August 4, 2026. Current rules apply until a final rule is published.
People on humanitarian parole, including Ukrainians paroled under Uniting for Ukraine, people with deferred action, and people on an order of supervision.
