An estimated 348,000 Venezuelan immigrants will be vulnerable to potential deportations when their status expires on April 7.

A major shift in U.S. immigration policy is leaving thousands of Venezuelans uncertain about their future. The Trump administration has revoked the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) extension that previously allowed them to stay and work legally in the U.

Noem revoked on Tuesday the extension of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans granted by the Joe Biden administration in its last days in office. The extension would have granted 18 months of additional protections for Venezuelans with TPS status expiring in April and September of this year.

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.

The Trump administration has rescinded a decision that extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 600,000 Venezuelans, putting them at risk of deportation.
