The Trump administration will end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 256,000 Venezuelans, clearing the way for deportations.

The designation, first granted under President Joe Biden in 2021 and expanded in 2023, gave eligible migrants work permits and protection from removal.A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson said: “Weighing public safety, national security, migration factors, immigration policy, economic considerations, and foreign policy, it’s clear that allowing Venezuelan nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is not in America’s best interest.” Vanguard
