The Trump administration is ending the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) granted by the Biden administration to over 300,000 Venezuelans. This decision comes amidst rising crime linked to Venezuelan gangs and a surge in Venezuelan migration to the U.S. The administration is giving Venezuelans two months to make arrangements before facing deportation.
The Trump administration is ending Joe Biden’s Temporary Protected Status for more than 300,000 Venezuelans allowed into the country during the Biden years.the door wide open for unvetted Venezuelans on several occasions during his presidency. In September of 2023, for instance, he extended his quasi-amnesty to more than 470,000 Venezuelans and gave them work permits to get jobs in the U.S.
Since that time, some 600,000 Venezuelans have flooded into the U.S.
Activists claim that the end of TPS puts an unfair burden on hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who are unable to return to their home country. But Trump said last week that Venezuela has agreed to take its citizens back. “Venezuela has agreed to receive, back into their Country, all Venezuela illegal aliens who were encamped in the U.S., including gang members of Tren de Aragua,” the president wrote Saturday on Truth Social. “Venezuela has further agreed to supply the transportation back. We are in the process of removing record numbers of illegal aliens from all Countries, and all Countries have agreed to accept these illegal aliens back.
The Trump administration has also ended Biden’s TPS for migrants from El Salvador and Haiti, though in their case the Trump administration gave them an 18-month notice.
