The United States deleted protection for more than 300 thousand venezuelan

US president administration Donald Trump has decided to terminate the status of temporary protection (TPS) by more than 300,000 venezuens located in the United States. On Sunday, February 2, the New York Times wrote.

“This step suggests that he intends to continue the immigration policy tightening, as well as cancel programs that allow migrants to legally enter the country,” the newspaper letter wrote.

The newspaper notes that in Trump’s first administration, when TPS ended for migrants from Salvador and Haiti, the government allowed them to maintain the status of another 12-18 months before its final cancellation. However, this time the administration decided to act more specific. Venezuens who received TPS in 2023 will lose this status 60 days after the official message of the message about its cancellation.

According to the report, at the time of the decision made more than 300,000 venezuens, they had TPS status until April. Another group of over 250,000 people has such status until September and has not suffered from a new solution.

“However, this step indicates that they may be at risk in the future,” the newspaper letter.

The TPS program was created to protect migrants who could not return to their countries due to natural disasters or armed conflicts. In recent years, a significant number of Venezuelan has left the country due to economic crisis and political instability under the leadership of President Nicolas Maduro.

In recent years, the TPS program has expanded significantly. By the end of last year, more than one million people had this status, according to the research service in Congress.

In the early days of the new administration, hundreds of migrants were detained and deported.
