In Doral, Florida, the city council passed a resolution supporting the Venezuelan Adjustment Act, which would provide permanent legal status to Venezuelan refugees. This decision highlights the growing concerns of the local Venezuelan-American community, especially in light of the adverse immigration policies from the Trump administration, which has labeled many Venezuelans as criminals while revoking Temporary Protected Status. The Act aims to grant residency to Venezuelans who entered before a certain date and has gained bipartisan support. Councilman Rafael Pineyro emphasized the need for legal protections for these individuals during a recent press conference.
The Venezuelan Adjustment Act will offer stability and legal protections; we urge federal action," said Doral Councilman Rafael Pineyro, the only Venezuelan member of the council.
The resolution comes at a critical time for the Venezuelan community, which has been reeling from the Trump administration's unstinting stance on immigration.
