The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has called allegations that a Haitian migrant raped a disabled 15-year-old girl “heinous.”
Cory Alvarez, the 26-year-old Haitian national charged with raping the teen at a Massachusetts hotel that was housing migrants last week, entered the U.S. last summer via President Biden’s controversial CHNV parole program. He was flown into New York City directly from Haiti.
“CHNV” stands for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. The program allows up to 30,000 people each month from these countries to fly into the U.S. and be granted two years of humanitarian parole, which allows them to apply to work in the U.S.

Administration officials have said these individuals are screened and vetted against national security and public safety databases. Anyone found to be a threat to national or public safety is denied admission and removed.
Individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who are paroled into the U.S. must have a U.S.-based financial supporter and are responsible for arranging their own travel, administration officials have said.
