DENVER — Karelis, a Venezuelan immigrant who is now an accountant for a Denver nonprofit, told Denver7 she feels relieved after the Department of Homeland Security announced an 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status for nearly a million immigrants in the U.S.The move also includes immigrants from El Salvador, Ukraine and Sudan. Most — about 600,000 — are from Venezuela. Their TPS was set to expire this April but is now extended until October 2026.
The Department of Homeland Security announced Friday that this applies to Venezuela “based on the severe humanitarian emergency the country continues to face due to political and economic crises under the inhumane Maduro regime.”'We are fleeing since there we don't have enough money to eat, to dress, to pay rent,” said Karelis, who has been in the U.S. since July 2023. “Working here, you can.'But President-elect Donald Trump’s return to office is about a week away.
