The Trump administration is reversing the Biden administration's decision to extend the Temporary Protected Status program for Venezuelans​ in the U.S. A move by the Trump administration to freeze federal funding​ quickly blocked temporarily by a federal judge is sending waves of concern through the nonprofit and research community in Colorado.

The move to revoke the extension of temporary protected status would make hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans eligible for deportation.

TPS is available to people whose home country has experienced a natural disaster, armed conflict or other extraordinary event.
