Trump Admin To Officially End TPS For Venezuelans

How soon till yet another far left wacko judges says “damn the actual law”?

Trump administration to end temporary status of another 268,000 Venezuelan migrants, urging them to self-deport
The Trump administration on Wednesday moved to terminate the legal status and work permits of nearly 270,000 Venezuelan migrants enrolled in the Temporary Protected Status program, urging them to self-deport from the U.S.
The announcement marked the latest effort by the Trump administration to revoke humanitarian protections granted to hundreds of thousands of migrants from countries plagued by political turmoil, war and other crises, making them eligible for potential deportation.
Unless blocked in court, the move by the Department of Homeland Security will terminate the legal protections of Venezuelans enrolled in a TPS program created in 2021 by the Biden administration. Homeland Security officials said roughly 268,000 Venezuelans are covered under the 2021 program, and their status would lapse in the next 60 days.
Earlier in the year, the Trump administration, following a decision by the Supreme Court, terminated another TPS designation issued in 2023 that covered roughly 350,000 Venezuelans, most of whom crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally or entered the country legally under now-defunct Biden-era programs.
The 2021 program covers a separate group of Venezuelan migrants who have been in the U.S. for longer.

TPS is just that: temporary. And the TPS has officially ended for these Venezuelans, so, Trump is not terminating anything: he’s simply not renewing it. The US is not meant to be a dumping ground for people from around the world who no one else wants, and refuse to assimilate, learn the language, and stand on their own feet.

‘Their free stay in America is over’: DHS moves to strip Venezuelans of temporary protected status

Under the advisement of President Donald Trump, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced on Wednesday that it is removing the 2021 temporary protected status for Venezuela, which will expire on Sept. 10.
Temporary protected status, commonly known as TPS, is a humanitarian immigration status in the U.S. that allows eligible foreign nationals to live and work in the country for a limited period if conditions in their home country make it unsafe to return. Former President Joe Biden enacted two designations of TPS for Venezuela back in 2021.
With approval from the U.S. Supreme Court, the Trump administration terminated one of the statuses earlier this year, and is now removing the second.
According to the press release, Secretary Kristi Noem stated that, upon review, Venezuela no longer meets the statutory requirements for TPS, and that keeping it would go against “America’s best interests.”
On social media, the department also noted that it was “correcting the Biden administration’s decision to turn TPS into a loophole for permanent residence and terminating Venezuela’s Temporary Protected Status. Their free stay in America is over, they must return home immediately.”
“TPS was never meant to be a de facto asylum system, yet that is exactly what the Biden administration turned it into.”

Immigrants under the TPS status are being advised to self-deport under the government smartphone app, CBP Home, that the Trump administration has repurposed to encourage voluntary returns. A $1,000 bonus will be granted if they return to their home countries using the app.
“Given Venezuela’s substantial role in driving irregular migration and the clear magnet effect created by Temporary Protected Status, maintaining or expanding TPS for Venezuelan nationals directly undermines the Trump Administration’s efforts to secure our southern border and manage migration effectively,” a DHS spokesperson said, per the press release.

DHS also opens ‘Louisiana Lockup’

Fifty-one immigrants have apparently already been moved into a new Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility located at the infamous Louisiana State Penitentiary.
Back in the 1960s, the prison earned the reputation as the ”bloodiest prison in the South" for the multiple stabbings that occurred there, before reform was mandated in the ’70s after inmates sued, and according to Fox News, the new location that opened on Thursday is set to house what Noem called the “worst of the worst.”
Noem, who was present at the opening of the facility, posted on social media a warning to immigrants living in the country illegally who commit crimes in the U.S.:
“To every criminal illegal alien perpetuating violence on our streets, beware: your free pass is over,” she said. “Louisiana Lockup could be your last stop in America.”

The state’s Gov. Jeff Landry also posted on social media, thanking the Trump administration and announcing that “Louisiana Lockup is OPEN FOR BUSINESS. Those who enter our country illegally, then commit heinous crimes against Americans will suffer the consequences,” he said.
“Goodnight Louisiana! Sleep tight knowing the worst of the worst illegal aliens are now locked up for good in Angola,” he added.
