The Donald Trump administration has rescinded an 18-month extension of deportation protections granted to more than 600,000 Venezuelans by President Joe Biden, a move that could leave them vulnerable to deportation in the coming months.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revoked the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) extension on Tuesday, according to a document obtained by The New York Times. The status, originally designed to assist migrants who cannot safely return to their home countries due to conflict or disaster, provided work permits and deportation relief until at least late 2026.
