The Trump administration has rescinded deportation protections that the Biden administration had issued for approximately 600,000 Venezuelans in the United States during its final days in office, according to a copy of the document obtained by the Washington Examiner.

The Trump administration has eliminated deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the United States, making them vulnerable to be sent back to the South American country in 60 days when the protection expires.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced an executive order to stop the 18-month extension approved by former Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

The decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status for more than 300,000 people signals that President Trump will continue to dismantle a program that aims to protect migrants from potentially dangerous countries.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday moved to remove protection against deportation from hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the U.S., part of President Donald Trump's expanding immigration crackdown.

The Biden administration had extended protections for more than 600,000 Venezuelans. The cancellation of the extension could open them up to deportation in the coming months.

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.
