It is known that the administration of President Donald Trump canceled the decision to extend 'Temporary Protected Status', which allowed over 600,000 Venezuelans to remain in the United States.
This decision affected Venezuelans who entered the US by March 20, 2022, and had legal grounds for obtaining temporary asylum. The program 'Temporary Protected Status' (TPS) allowed these people to stay in the country, work, and have legal status.
Representatives of President Joe Biden's administration stated that they plan to conduct an assessment of the situation in Venezuela to determine a decision on the possible restoration of the status for Venezuelans. For now, they have indicated that those whose status is expiring should be prepared to return to their home country.
However, according to advocates and attorneys, the withdrawal of the extension or cancellation of this status for Venezuelans is based on assessments of the political situation in a country where a political crisis and instability continue to prevail.
Taking into account the complex situation in Venezuela, many expressed concern and hoped for a possible restoration of 'Temporary Protected Status' for compatriots currently in other countries.
