U.S. removes deportation protections for 348,000 Venezuelans

In a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Monday the termination of deportation protections for nearly 348,000 Venezuelans living in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status (TPS). This move, part of former President Donald Trump’s renewed immigration crackdown, means thousands could face deportation and lose their work permits as early as April. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) cited ”notable improvements” in Venezuela’s economy, public health, and crime rates as reasons for ending the protections. However, many Venezuelan families in the U.S. are devastated, fearing for their future. ”I don’t know what will happen,” Ana Maria Pirela, a 26-year-old Venezuelan migrant with temporary protected status, told Reuters.
Venezuelan activist Beatriz Olavarria warned that ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000 Venezuelans within 60 days could have devastating consequences. Some may face life-threatening situations or imprisonment if deported. Under former President Biden, TPS was expanded, offering protection to over 1 million people, including Venezuelans fleeing political and economic turmoil. However, under Trump’s administration, Kristi Noem canceled an 18-month extension and ended automatic renewals, leaving many Venezuelans with uncertain futures. The U.S. is also considering ending anoth
