Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reversed his position on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans, now describing the designation as "harmful to U.S. national interests".
According to newly released court documents, Rubio wrote a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem back in January in which, among other things, he stated that "designating Venezuela under TPS does not champion core American interests or put America and American citizens first," and that therefore "it is contrary to the foreign policy and the national interest of the United States."
