DHS to offer work permits, deportation protection to over 470,000 Venezuelans amid new border surge
Fox News
The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday announced a redesignation of Temporary Protect Status for Venezuela, protecting hundreds of thousands from deportation.
The latest extension will see TPS extended for 18 months and applies to nationals who were in the country on or before July 31. Venezuela was last extended, but not re-designated, for TPS in 2022, meaning it was not open to new applicants. This redesignation will open it up to new applicants, and officials told reporters they estimate it will protect around 472,000 foreign nationals.
