Extension of Deportation Protections for Venezuelans Revoked
January 29, 2025
On January 28, 2025, the Trump administration revoked an extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans granted by the Biden administration. This revocation is effective immediately. The Biden administration granted an 18-month extension of TPS for Venezuelans but that has now been revoked. TPS redesignation and extension guidelines are based off what was announced on October 2023. TPS for Venezuelans who applied for TPS under Venezuela 2021 will expire on September 10, 2025. Redesignation of Venezuela for TPS (Venezuela 2023) will end on April 2, 2025. Ending TPS for all Venezuelans will impact more than 600,000 individuals who were granted Temporary Protected Status and are already in the United States. Venezuelans who were previously protected under TPS may now face deportation when their TPS expires. Work authorization will also be revoked for Venezuelan nationals when their TPS expires.
If you have any questions about how the revocation of the Venezuelan TPS extension might affect your case, please contact your attorney directly. To schedule a new consultation with one of our attorneys, please complete our consultation request form.
