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.

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

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