The humanitarian crises in Venezuela have only worsened in the intervening period, and political persecution has escalated,” Díaz-Balart wrote in a letter to Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday.

The Trump administration’s decision to end protections shielding Venezuelans from deportation has left elected officials in Florida scrambling. New regulations published this morning are set to end Venezuelans’ Temporary Protection Status (TPS).

Many Venezuelans are feeling a sense of betrayal after the Trump administration ended their deportation protections. It's an increasingly common sentiment.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is ending protections that shielded roughly 350,000 Venezuelans from deportation, leaving them with two months before they lose their right to work in the U.S.

Trump's order revoking TPS status for almost 350,000 Venezuelans in 60 days would be 'suicidal' for some if they're sent back; others would be jailed, an activist said.

The White House's ending of a temporary immigration program that protects migrants in the U.S. could spell deportation for more than 300,000 Venezuelans who were previously allowed in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status.
