Analysis: Trump's Venezuela policy doesn't protect that country's citizens from being deported
National Assembly President Juan Guaido, who declared himself interim president of Venezuela, leaps on to a vehicle to speak to supporters in Caracas. President Trump and Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó are clashing over granting temporary protected status to 70,000 Venezuelans living in the United States illegally. Guaidó's top diplomats in Washington are directly pushing the administration to protect Venezuelans who have fled the chaos in the collapsed country.
“We have absolutely got to avoid any noncriminal deportations while we sort it out. To send some family back to [Venezuela] now would make us all laughingstocks,” Abrams wrote in a Feb. 24 email to the NSC. Continued U.S. involvement in Venezuela is antithetical to Trump's “America First” agenda. The Trump administrationother nations in recognizing Guaidó as the country's leader, slapped sanctions on the country's state-owned oil company and flown humanitarian aid to the border.
“I think there's no question that deporting Venezuelans back to extremely unsafe and volatile conditions would be inexcusable,”“But I think it's odd to have this discussion in isolation of the broader debate over TPS in the U.S.," Ramsey added before mentioning Trump's crackdown on immigration overall.
