MIAMI — Venezuelan migrants in South Florida say they feel betrayed by a Trump administration decision to end legal protections for hundreds of thousands of people who fled dictatorships and sought refuge in the U.S.
New regulations scheduled to be published this week would end temporary protected status (TPS) for more than 300,000 Venezuelans in early April. Protections for a second group of some 250,000 Venezuelans currently extended through September but now also seem likely to be removed.
The move by the Trump administration is a turnabout of a long-standing U.S. policy that has extended TPS to more than a half-million Venezuelans. On NBC's Meet the Press Sunday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said she believed the designation had been abused. "Remember," she said, "Venezuela purposely emptied out their prisons, emptied out their mental health facilities and sent them to the United States of America."
