Please note that these aren’t “illegals” but were authorized immigrants! MAGA doesn’t just dislike “illegal” immigration, they don’t like immigrants, period.
> The Trump administration has revoked an extension of deportation protections that President Joseph R. Biden Jr. had granted to more than 600,000 Venezuelans already in the United States, according to a copy of the decision obtained by The New York Times.
> On Tuesday, **Kristi Noem, the secretary of homeland security, decided to revoke the 18-month extension of what is known as Temporary Protected Status**, which is intended to help people in the United States who cannot return safely and immediately to their country because of a natural disaster or an armed conflict. The move is a blow to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants who believed they would not only be protected from deportation but also provided work permits until at least the fall of 2026.
> Undoing the extension could add to Mr. Trump’s crackdown on not only illegal immigration but also on immigrants whom the Biden administration had authorized to remain in the country. In the past, Mr. Trump has targeted immigrants under Temporary Protected Status, which aids migrants from some of the most unstable countries in the world. Republicans have argued, however, that the measure has strayed far from its original mission of providing temporary shelter from conflict or disaster.
> “If the Trump administration moves to terminate T.P.S. for over 600,000 Venezuelans, it could also have significant impacts on the economy, as nearly all of those with status are working here legally,” he added.
> When the Biden administration moved to extend the protections this month, it cited “political and economic crises under the inhumane Maduro regime.” The statement said that “these conditions have contributed to high levels of crime and violence, impacting access to food, medicine, health care, water, electricity and fuel.”
The irony is that the children of Venezuelans fleeing Maduro’s socialist regime would probably be a reliable vote for the GOP like Cubans in Florida. But they’re brown, so oh well
Trump hates America
He finally found a group substantial enough for his mass deportation pilot plan. Will use it to rile up the base and get Congress to open up the purse to expand the depth and scope of expulsions.
Looks like early stages of ethnic cleansing to me.
