"US Grants Legal Work Status to Venezuelan Migrants, Easing Deportation Fears"

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to an additional 472,000 Venezuelans, allowing them to work legally in the country. This extension is in response to Venezuela's increased instability and lack of safety. The TPS provides relief to Venezuelans who fear deportation and helps alleviate the backlog in the immigration court system. The Biden administration is also addressing the growing number of Venezuelan asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border and has allocated U.S. Department of Defense forces to support Homeland Security.
