According to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report published on May 18, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data shows that 90 Moroccan nationals were granted humanitarian parole at the U.S. southern border. This figure is part of a broader breakdown by nationality of parole decisions.
The GAO report, which analyzes immigration enforcement and parole practices, highlights the use of humanitarian parole as a discretionary tool for individuals entering the country temporarily due to urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. The data covers a specific period and reflects CBP's administrative records.
While the number of Moroccan parolees is relatively small compared to other nationalities, it underscores the diverse origins of migrants arriving at the southern border. The report does not specify the reasons for each parole grant, but humanitarian parole is typically granted on a case-by-case basis.
This disclosure comes amid ongoing debates over U.S. immigration policy and the use of parole authority. The GAO report aims to provide transparency and oversight into how CBP applies these decisions.
