From The Hill: Homeland Security Sec. Kristin Noem has suspended deportation protections to roughly 600,000 Venezuelans living in the U.S., reversing an extension provided under the Biden administration.
The order from Noem on Tuesday, signed the same day that she gave her opening remarks to staff at the Department of Homeland Security, affects various clusters of Venezuelans.
President Biden gave Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Venezuelans at multiple points during his administration, a protection from deportation for those unable to return to their country due to unrest or a natural disaster.
On January 10, just 10 days ahead of Trump’s inauguration, the Biden administration announced that it was extending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for El Salvador, Venezuela, Sudan and Ukraine for an additional 18 months beyond their current expirations. The order impacted about 600,000 illegal alien Venezuelans.
Sharing a video of a Fox News interview Wednesday morning, Noem declared, “We are ending the ridiculous Biden Administration order that allowed illegal immigrants from Venezuela to stay in our country and violate our laws. The Trump Administration is putting Americans’ safety first.”
