U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for about 348,000 Venezuelans, citing improved conditions in their home country. This decision means they will lose deportation relief and work permits by April, reversing a Biden-era expansion of the program.

Trump, a Republican, took office on Jan. 20 vowing to crack down on illegal immigration and humanitarian programs he says go beyond the intent of U.S. law. Trump tried to end most TPS enrollment during his first term but was stymied by federal courts. Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans arrived in the U.S. during Biden's presidency, many via legal humanitarian pathways, and deporting them has been challenging due to frosty U.S.-Venezuela relations. On Saturday, Trump said Venezuela had agreed to accept all deportees, but provided few details.
