Trump Administration Revokes 18-Month TPS Extension for 600,000 Venezuelan Migrants
The Trump administration has revoked an 18-month extension of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for more than 600,000 Venezuelan migrants in the United States, a decision announced by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The extension, which was approved by the Biden administration in its final days, would have allowed these migrants to remain legally in the U.S. and obtain work permits until at least October 2026. Noem criticized the previous administration's move as an attempt to tie the hands of the Trump administration, stating that the decision to extend TPS was made too early. The revocation of this extension could lead to the deportation of these migrants in the coming months, as the Trump administration aims to evaluate all individuals currently in the country, including Venezuelans under TPS.
