Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Wednesday that the Trump administration has reversed a decision to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 600,000 Venezuelans living in the United States. This move puts these individuals at risk of deportation within the next two months.
The decision to revoke the TPS extension, which was initially granted by Noem's predecessor Alejandro Mayorkas during the Biden administration, is effective immediately. Noem cited concerns about allowing individuals to stay in the country and potentially violate immigration laws for an additional 18 months.
