Supreme Court Decision Leaves 300,000 Venezuelan Immigrants Facing Deportation

The US Supreme Court's decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelan immigrants who registered in 2023 has sent shockwaves through the community. Over 300,000 people face potential deportation. The ruling has sparked protests and uncertainty. Immigration lawyer Haim Vásquez, interviewed by CNN en Español, explains the potential ramifications for those affected. "Losing legal status doesn't automatically cancel the possibility of maintaining a bank account or assets in the country," Vásquez clarifies. However, he warns that if deportation occurs, the government has imposed fines on those who don't leave the US. The video shows images of protestors holding signs reading "Restore TPS for Venezuelans" and footage of what appears to be a deportation. Vásquez advises those at risk to designate a trusted individual to manage their property and finances. The situation highlights the precarious legal position of many Venezuelan immigrants in the US.
