US EditionVenezuelan Workers at Disney Put on Leave From Jobs After Losing Protective Status
- Starting May 20, 2025, Disney’s Florida resort informed approximately 45 Venezuelan staff members that they would be put on unpaid leave due to changes in their immigration protections.
- This action followed the U.S. Supreme Court's 8-1 ruling on May 19, which allowed the revocation of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans, pending a lower court appeal.
- TPS had protected approximately 350,000 Venezuelan nationals from deportation due to the country's ongoing crisis, and shortly before leaving office, former President Biden prolonged this status for Venezuelans by an additional 18 months, citing humanitarian reasons.
- Disney notified affected employees that they must obtain alternative work permits within 30 days to avoid losing their jobs, while a company representative highlighted their dedication to supporting staff amid evolving immigration regulations.
- The revocation and Disney's leave policy may cause hardship, as one Venezuelan employee in her 40s expressed distress over unpaid leave, citing bills, lease renewals, and a college-age son as challenges.
