President Joe Biden’s administration has extended temporary legal residency status for thousands of eligible Venezuelans living in the US through 2024 amid pleas from immigration advocacy groups that the administration grant relief to a wider group of migrants in the wake of a years-long humanitarian crisis driving migration to the US.
The US Department of Homeland Security announced on 11 July that it would extend Temporary Protected Status designations to Venezuelans who already were living in the US as of March 2021, extending their work permit eligibility and protections against deportation proceedings.
