- On Sunday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ended TPS for more than 500,000 Venezuelans, saying they can apply for refugee status but will not automatically remain in the United States.
- Under immigration law, the Department of Homeland Security secretary may extend or let TPS lapse in 18-month increments, and the Supreme Court of the United States allowed ending protections for more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants.
- Legal challenges persist, with U.S. District Judge Edward Chen last year criticizing DHS's haste and plaintiffs challenging TPS terminations while some renewals earlier this year extended TPS through early April.
- Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans with TPS face losing protections and work authorization, forcing difficult choices for families and communities in Miami, Florida .
- DHS clarified on Sunday, writing `This is not what Secretary Noem said.`, after Noem's statement followed a U.S. strike that captured Nicolás Maduro, doubling the $50 million bounty.
