Part 6/8:
Amidst the political turbulence, many Venezuelans living in the U.S. are worried about their status. The Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program, which allows Venezuelans to stay legally in the U.S. during times of crisis, is set to expire or has already been terminated for many residents.
This looming threat of deportation raises fears among the community, especially considering the precarious conditions in Venezuela. Many know that returning could expose them to the same dangers that caused them to flee initially. There is growing concern that, amid the chaos, deportation could lead to a humanitarian crisis within a crisis, as hundreds of thousands could be sent back to a country in chaos.
