Venezuelan Workers at Disney Put on Leave From Jobs After Losing Protective Status
- Following a May 19, 2025 Supreme Court decision, Disney notified at least 45 Venezuelan workers at its Florida resort that they would be placed on unpaid leave unless they submitted updated employment authorization.
- The leave results from the court allowing the revocation of Temporary Protected Status , which shielded roughly 350,000 Venezuelans from deportation since President Trump ended TPS protections.
- Shortly before leaving office, President Biden prolonged Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan nationals by an additional 18 months due to ongoing turmoil in Venezuela; however, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem later rescinded this extension, triggering a legal dispute.
- Disney informed affected workers they must find alternate work permits within 30 days or face termination, while a spokesperson said the leave is unpaid but includes benefits to ensure legal compliance.
- This development leaves employees, some with families and financial obligations, navigating uncertain immigration policies with potential job and residency risks amid continued instability in Venezuela.
