The Trump administration revoked Temporary Protected Status for almost 350,000 Venezuelans who are in the U.S. Also, the protection will end in 60 days instead of October. Those affected will no longer have temporary protection from deportation or work permits that TPS allows.
Venezuelan activist Beatriz Olavarria said that, for some, “returning would be almost suicidal.” Many Venezuelans have fled amid brutal crackdowns on protests against the government and struggles for basic goods such as food and medicine.
“Betrayed. We feel betrayed. More than betrayed. Beyond betrayed,” said Adeyls Ferro, executive director of the Venezuelan American Caucus in Doral, Florida, a south Florida suburb dubbed “Doralzuela” for its large Venezuelan population.
TPS holders are “living a legal life in the United States,” she said in a news conference on Monday. “We are not here because we came as tourists. We are here because we got kicked out from our country because ... there is a cruel dictatorship in Venezuela.”
“It’s kind of whiplash for the same government to say in January things haven’t improved in Venezuela, we have to extend TPS and then two weeks later, to say, actually things are absolutely fine in Venezuela,” Taufa said.

Venezuelans in U.S. call Trump's move to end deportation protections a 'betrayal'
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.
