Donald Trump has revoked deportation protections for over 600,000 Venezuelan migrants.
The revocation was confirmed by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in an interview on Wednesday morning.
The order rescinds a previous order from Joe Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, that extended the protections for a further 18 months.
“Before he left town, Mayorkas signed an order that said for 18 months, they were going to extend protection to people on Temporary Protected Status, which meant they were going to be able to stay here and violate our laws for another 18 months,” Noem said. “We stopped that.”
“We are going to follow the process, evaluate all of these individuals that are in our country, including the Venezuelans that are here,” she continued.

As of December 2024, there were over 600,00 Venezuelan migrants benefitting from TPS, although estimates vary.
Noem added that they remain in active discussions with other countries, and “the President clearly will exercise all the authority and power that he has to make these countries take them back.”
She was also asked about whether the administration was open to using the Guantanamo Bay center in Cuba as a possible detention site.
“We’re evaluating and talking about that right now,” she responded.

^%$^& They are not migrants!!! Help me I hate the media.
What deportation protections ???
I wish Trump would issue an EO revoking the term”migrants” when used for illegal aliens.
Migrants are those who are passing through and/or temporarily present in a way not conflicting with the rules/laws of the land in which they sojourn.
This is the same issue as the LEFTIST “Christian” denominations pugging the term “sojourners” and misapplying that biblical term to those who are breaking the law to invade this nation.
Given poor relations with Venezuela, and the fact the Venezuelan marxists purposely emptied their prisons into the US southern border, with the aid of the UN and Biden regime (and definitely don’t want these criminals back) - how will 600K Venezuelans be sent back??
GOOD now ship their a@@es out
😂👍🇺🇸
Not a fan of that.
We'd still have to feed and clothe the cockroaches. But who am I? I have to go with the administration that has the big picture.
Could are side finally stop repeating the Alt Left lie? They are not “migrants” They are illegal aliens.
Stop letting the Alt Left media control the language
they cant just drive them directly to the airport
there is some processing time involved
overflowing detention centers is a good thing
President Trump administration is going to give them a choice. Good home or go to camps in this place
Amazing what 3rd World dictators will do if you offer then a few billion
The big news is:
using Guantanamo Bay center in Cuba as a possible detention site.
“We’re evaluating and talking about that right now,” she responded.”
now do the haitians
Get rid of these criminal aliens! Do it now!
They are INVADERS - many were released from the prisons, insane asylums and hospitals. All for US to provide for, treat for medical conditions and IMPRISON.
Was Mayorkas issued a Bidet pardon?
Just that one little group of people from Venezuela, a country few Americans even notice or were aware had anyone here, outnumber the entire population of the state of Wyoming.
That brings up a good point.
Of course, by being here they are automatically breaking the law, but if they break any other laws, anyone under a deportation protection should by default immediately forfeit the right to claim that protection and be arrested and/or jailed and deported.
At some point every criminal invader in our country has gone back to the place of their citizenship to vacation and visit relatives. Since that alone proves they obviously do not fear for their safety, bounce them back and do not let them return. Bounce Back Better
Just before leaving, Biden wrote an order giving them an extra 18 months before they could be eligible for deportation. Trump just removed that protection.
