🚨🇺🇸VENEZUELANS TAKE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO COURT OVER DEPORTATION MOVE

A group of Venezuelans is pushing back against Trump’s decision to end their deportation protections.

Filed Wednesday in San Francisco, the lawsuit challenges Homeland Security’s order to drop Temporary Protected Status for 348,000 Venezuelans, with deportations looming by April.

They argue Secretary Kristi Noem overstepped by reversing Biden’s extension, calling it unfair, while Noem’s team stands firm—she even dubbed them “dirtbags” on Fox News.

The fight’s on as half could be out soon, with the rest at risk by September.

🚨🇺🇸TRUMP ENDS PROTECTION FOR 300K+ VENEZUELANS—DEPORTATION LOOMS

The Trump administration is terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 300,000 Venezuelans, which means they can be deported within 60 days of the official notice.

This impacts half of the 600,000 Venezuelans with TPS, while the other half remain protected until September.

In January, Biden extended TPS for Venezuelans by 18 months, citing conditions in their country—a decision which the Trump administration swiftly revoked.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem justified the move, stating that TPS was no longer necessary as it did not serve the national interest.

Meanwhile, Venezuela has reportedly agreed to accept deported nationals, though Caracas has yet to comment.

🚨🇺🇸 BIDEN EXTENDS PROTECTION FOR 800K VENEZUELANS, SALVADORANS BEFORE TRUMP TAKES OFFICE

About 600,000 Venezuelans and 230,000 Salvadorans can legally remain in the U.S. for 18 more months, Homeland Security announced.

This Temporary Protected Status (TPS) extension grants work permits and shields them from deportation.

However, with Trump and Vance set to take office, the future of TPS remains uncertain as they plan stricter immigration policies.
