Early last year, the Biden administration issued a policy to allow temporary entry for up to 30,000 people a month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela — countries facing extreme unrest and violence. People in the program, called humanitarian parole, are allowed to live and work in the United States for two years.

The Common speaks with WBUR reporter Simón Rios about what humanitarian parole has meant for Boston's Haitian community.
