Haitian migrant who entered US under Biden parole program is charged with murdering his estranged wife outside a Walmart

A Haitian national admitted to the US under Joe Biden's humanitarian parole scheme is charged with shooting dead his estranged wife outside a Walmart store, the Department of Homeland Security has confirmed. DHS identified him as having entered through the controversial parole programme that granted temporary status to hundreds of thousands of migrants. The killing followed the breakdown of what police say was a green card marriage that had gone badly wrong.

The suspect's wife was shot dead in the Walmart car park after she had separated from him, according to police.

DHS's confirmation that the suspect entered via Biden's parole programme reignites Republican attacks on the policy, which Trump has since moved to dismantle.

Police allege the marriage was entered into as a route to a green card, and that its collapse triggered the attack.
