Trump Admin Paroles Over 13,000 Noncitizens Despite Strict Immigration Order

The daily number of noncitizens paroled under Trump is about one-third of the daily average during fiscal year 2015 under Biden.

WASHINGTON — Since President Donald Trump took office, over 13,000 noncitizens deemed “inadmissible” at U.S. ports of entry have been allowed to enter the country, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) records analyzed by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). The data, current through May 2025, reveals that despite a January 22, 2025, executive order aimed at curbing migrant entries, 10,673 noncitizens were paroled into the U.S., and 2,351 received Notices to Appear (NTAs) in Immigration Court, permitting their entry.
