Summary

Trump has revoked deportation protections for over 300,000 Venezuelans in the U.S., following last week’s decision to rescind an 18-month extension of temporary protected status (TPS).

The affected individuals now have 60 days before facing potential deportation. Another 250,000 Venezuelans with TPS protections until September also face an uncertain future.

The move has sparked outrage, particularly among Venezuelan exiles who previously supported Trump.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the decision, citing unverified claims about Venezuelan criminals entering the U.S. under TPS.
