The increased rates of both migrant deaths and those needing rescue at the SWB demonstrate the perils in the migrant journey. [15], Cubans are fleeing the island in record numbers, eclipsing the mass exodus of Cuban migrants seen during the Mariel exodus of 1980. This process is expected to free up resources, including those focused on decompression of border sectors, which in turn may enable an increase in removal flightsallowing for the removal of more noncitizens with final orders of removal faster and reducing the number of days migrants are in DHS custody. This process provides a safe mechanism for Cuban nationals who seek to leave their home country to enter the United States without having to make the dangerous journey to the United States.

These entities have engaged to provide services and assistance to Cuban nationals and other noncitizens who have arrived at our border, including by building new administrative structures, finding additional housing facilities, and constructing tent shelters to address the increased need. The temporary, case-by-case parole of qualifying Cuban nationals pursuant to this process will provide a significant public benefit for the United States, by reducing unauthorized entries along our SWB, while also addressing the urgent humanitarian reasons that are driving hundreds of thousands of Cubans to flee their home country, to include crippling economic conditions and dire food shortages, widespread social unrest, and the Government of Cuba's (GOC) violent repression of dissent.
