Approximately 3,50,000 Venezuelans have two months left before their authorization to work in the US is terminated by the administration of US President Donald Trump. With TPS expiring in April, the directive from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem impacts 3, 48,202 Venezuelans residing in the United States. At the end of September, the remaining safeguards are scheduled to expire. The notice of termination will become effective 60 days after it is published on February 5, 2025. TPS was established in 1990 to allow individuals to work in increments of up to 18 months and prevent deportations to nations experiencing natural catastrophes or civil unrest. Critics contend that status renewals eventually become automatic.
