The United States government has decided to revoke an extension of the anti-deportation armor that the previous president, Joe Biden, had granted more than 600,000 Venezuelans who were already in this country, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
The newspaper claims to have a copy of the order issued by the Secretary of National Security, Kristi Noem, and not yet made public, in which the extension of the 18 -month time of the Statute of Temporary Protection (TPS) decided on January 10 is annulled. For more than 600,000 Venezuelans, which means that they become susceptible to deportation.
The TPS is an aid that is granted to the citizens of a certain country that have emigrated to the United States for a natural disaster or an armed conflict so that they can live and work here until the date that the US government considers that they can return safely .
The measure is a blow to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants who believed that they were not only protected from deportation, but also provided work permits at least until October 2026.
The Department of National Security (DHS) announced the extension of the TPS to Venezuelans the same day that Nicolás Maduro took possession for a new mandate before the National Assembly, controlled by Chavismo, in the midst of accusations of “coup d’etat”On the part of the opposition, which states that its candidate, Edmundo González Urrutia won the elections of July 28.
The DHS justified the extension of the TPS for Venezuelans for “The serious humanitarian emergency that the country continues to face due to political and economic crises under the inhuman regime of Maduro“
The TPS was extended from April 3, 2025, date on which it should expire, until October 2, 2026, which will allow some 600,000 Venezuelans to be benefited.
The eligible for this immigration permit are those Venezuelans who arrived in the United States before July 31, 2023 and who have resided in the country uninterruptedly, except those who “have been convicted of a serious crime or two minor crimes.”
Trump, who assumed on January 20 the US presidency for the second time, recognizes González, irutia as elected president of Venezuela, but is embarked on a fight against irregular immigration without distinctions for the nationality of the migrant.
“In the past, (the president, Donald) Trump has put in the Mira“, A migratory relief that for some Republicans”He has moved away much from his original mission to provide temporary refuge in case of conflict or disaster“, Says the newspaper.
During his first government, Trump tried to end the protections for migrants from several countries, including Haiti, El Salvador and Sudan, but federal courts blocked some of those attempts. EFE
