Top Venezuelan Official Diosdado Cabello accused Secretary of State Marco Rubio and two Latino lawmakers of being behind the removal of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans, claiming they requested it through the South American country's opposition leaders.

Cabello, Minister of Interior and Justice in the Maduro regime, said Florida Reps. Maria Elvira Salazar and Mario Diaz-Balart also played a role in the alleged request. "They are the ones who asked for the end of TPS, but now ask Latinos to vote them because they need them to be reelected," Cabello said. "They did it through the extremist opposition here in Venezuela."
