The Trump administration took significant steps last week to end protections that shielded hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the United States from deportation. These protections, granted under Temporary Protected Status (TPS), were initially designed for individuals from countries experiencing crises.
The move has sparked widespread concern among Venezuelan communities, with many fearing deportation amid ongoing political and economic turmoil in their home country. Advocates for immigrant rights are pushing back, arguing that the decision could lead to significant hardships for Venezuelan families already facing difficult circumstances.
