"Urgent Calls for Biden Administration to Change Treatment of Haitian Migrants Amid Escalating Crisis"

The Biden administration is facing pressure from human rights organizations to change its treatment of Haitian migrants, but there are no plans to do so. More than 480 human rights organizations have asked for a moratorium on deportations to Haiti and the immediate release of detained Haitian migrants. The administration has not deported Haitian migrants back to their home country by plane since the violence began, but it has continued sending migrants who are interdicted at sea back to Haiti by boat. The administration is not considering granting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to an additional group of undocumented Haitians, despite the current crisis.

Resuming Deportations: Urgency for Venezuelan Migrants as TPS Status and Sanctions Face Criticism

Venezuelan migrants in the United States are urgently applying for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) as deportations to Venezuela are set to resume. TPS would provide temporary relief from deportation and work authorization for qualifying migrants. Many Venezuelans are seeking TPS as an alternative to the lengthy asylum process. Advocacy groups in New York City are assisting migrants with their TPS applications and providing legal support. The expansion of TPS would allow Venezuelans to become more independent and less reliant on city services. However, deportations are expected to resume for Venezuelans who recently arrived in the U.S. without a visa.

U.S. Resumes Direct Deportation Flights for Venezuelan Migrants Amid Border Crisis

The Biden administration has announced the resumption of direct deportation flights for Venezuelans who unlawfully cross the U.S. border and do not have a legal basis to remain in the country. The Venezuelan government has agreed to take back deported migrants. This decision comes despite the recent granting of temporary protected status (TPS) to certain Venezuelan migrants who have lived in the U.S. since before August. The administration maintains that the resumption of deportation flights is consistent with previous practices and aims to balance safe pathways with consequences for irregular border crossings. The announcement follows discussions between the U.S., Mexico, Colombia, and Panama on addressing irregular migration in the Western Hemisphere.

Support for Venezuelan Migrants Grows as Immigration Programs Expand

The Department of Homeland Security has extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Venezuelan migrants in the U.S. who arrived by July 31, allowing them to legally live and work in the country. While Utah may not be a top destination for Venezuelans, thousands in the state are expected to benefit from this program. Venezuelans are the fastest-growing Hispanic group in the U.S., with nearly 10,400 residing in Utah. The extension offers temporary relief, but frustrations remain over pending asylum cases and the lengthy wait for adjudication. Critics argue that the extension may encourage more Venezuelans to make the journey to the U.S., but experts clarify that TPS is not an invitation for new arrivals and is meant to help those already in the country. Temporary protected status is not a form of amnesty, and recipients must pursue separate immigration programs for permanent residency or citizenship.

Biden Administration's Familiar Tool: Temporary Status for Venezuelans

The Biden administration has announced temporary legal status for approximately 472,000 Venezuelans who arrived in the United States as of July 31, expanding the use of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). While critics argue that this move may incentivize more Venezuelans to attempt illegal entry, many Venezuelans cite dire conditions at home as their motivation for migrating. The ongoing political, social, and economic crisis in Venezuela has pushed millions into poverty, with teachers, professors, and public employees struggling to make ends meet. The recent TPS announcement adds to the more than 242,000 Venezuelans already covered under TPS grants in 2021 and 2022. The Biden administration's expansion of TPS has faced criticism, but it highlights the need for comprehensive changes to the U.S. immigration system.

Biden administration grants work permits and protection to thousands of Venezuelan migrants in the US

The Biden administration has expanded temporary protected status (TPS) for Venezuela, allowing approximately 472,000 migrants to apply for work permits. This move comes after local leaders, including Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams of New York City, urged the White House to grant TPS to migrants from troubled countries. The change is estimated to impact around 60,000 Venezuelans in New York, enabling them to contribute to the local economy. Business groups and immigration advocates have supported this expansion, emphasizing that it will help migrants find employment and move out of shelters. The TPS designation applies to individuals who arrived in the United States on or before July 31 and cannot safely return to their home country due to armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions. While Biden can expand TPS unilaterally, further action to address the immigration crisis lies with Congress.

"NYC Leaders Clash with Biden Administration over Migrant Crisis"

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the Biden administration are at odds over the issue of work authorization for asylum seekers in the city's shelter system. The administration claims that a rule requiring asylum seekers to wait 180 days before applying for work authorization limits their ability to act, and changing the law would require an act of Congress. Adams has proposed granting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to certain nationalities, such as Venezuelans, to allow them to apply for work permits instantly. However, the administration is hesitant to grant TPS to recent arrivals unless there are new crises in their home countries. Adams has also called for faster processing times for work permits and for the federal government to provide more support to cities like New York that are sheltering migrants. Governor Kathy Hochul has also urged the federal government to expedite work authorizations and provide financial assistance to the state and city.
