350,000 people, all of whom Donald Trump himself granted protection to in January 2021, are losing status today and will be forced to leave their jobs — and the country, unless they want to risk deportation.
Hundreds of thousands of #Venezuelans, many in South Florida, lose TPS after today

Funny how you can’t read the part about Trump himself having determined that they deserved protection.
So tell me: which of these conditions, which Trump described in 2021, have been solved in the last four years? Spell out the specific improvements in Venezuela since then.
Temporary Protected Status is supposed to last until the extraordinary and temporary condition which led to the original grant is no longer in effect.
So tell me: do you think that Maduro has *improved* Venezuela since 2021? Are things better? Explain why you think that.
Yes, Trump granted DED in January 2021, and Mayorkas granted TPS six weeks later.
And you are just wrong that TPS is only supposed to last until it expires. The law MANDATES that the Secretary review conditions to decide if the conditions still exist, and extend TPS if they do.
The word “temporary” means until the conditions that led the designation no longer exist.
Are you seriously suggesting that conditions in Venezuela are better today than they were in 2021 when Trump granted protections?
First off, TPS is about whether people should be *deported,* not whether they should be *admitted.*
Second, you’re basically saying that people have no right to flee a dictator; that Jews in the 1930s should have stayed in Germany and “done something to solve those problems.”
Secretary Noem didn’t determine that country conditions in Venezuela had improved. She determined that granting TPS was now “contrary to the national interest” and thus should be terminated *despite* the fact that conditions have not improved.
This rationale was a clear pretext.
The Secretary did that. The determination was challenged, but so far SCOTUS has sided with Trump. x.com/i/grok/share/3xtCAbMlx…
Again, “temporary” under the law means until the emergency which led to the grant of TPS is over.
Ukraine has had TPS since the war began in 2022. Should Trump arbitrarily terminate TPS now because the war is still ongoing in 2025 and you think 3 years of TPS is too long?
What part of “until conditions improve” do you not understand about “temporary”?
Do you think 4 years is permanent? If a war hasn’t ended in a short period of time, should we just deport people into an active war zone because “temporary means temporary”?
I have no common cause with tankies. 8 million people have been forced to leave Venezuela in the last decade.
The US has done less to help those victims of Maduro than multiple other countries in the Hemisphere.
If someone says “You can stay at my house temporarily until the hurricane passes,” do you think that means they can kick you out in the middle of the storm because “temporary means temporary”?
The Supreme Court has not “ruled” on these cases in a traditional way. They granted DOJ’s request to halt the court orders against them, but offered no explanation as to why — and one possible reason is that Congress limited lawsuits around TPS, not that what Noem did was legal.
Sure! I think Noem’s actions in terminating TPS for several of the countries which have lost it have been unlawful. I think the decision violates the APA as it was arbitrary and capricious and pretextual. I also think some of the terminations were unlawfully motivated by animus.
