Miami GOP Lawmakers Slam Joe Biden, Defend TPS for Venezuelans After SCOTUS Ruling
- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday to allow the Trump administration to revoke Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Venezuelan migrants living mainly in Florida and other states.
- This decision followed Joe Biden's 18-month TPS extension citing Venezuela's ongoing economic collapse and humanitarian crisis under Nicolás Maduro's authoritarian regime, amid ongoing legal appeals and conflicting court orders.
- Affected Venezuelans, including Denis Caldeira, who lives in Doral where 40% of residents are Venezuelan, expressed fear and legal limbo after the TPS revocation, while local GOP lawmakers defended Venezuelans and criticized Biden's border policies.
- Caldeira expressed fear but felt powerless, while Oli Garcia expressed disappointment that the efforts to enforce measures were targeting innocent people like them rather than the individuals they believed truly deserved such actions.
- The ruling leaves many Venezuelans vulnerable to deportation despite U.S. Intelligence assessing Venezuela as unsafe, and lawmakers called for case-by-case reviews amid concerns over political persecution and economic instability.
