The article discusses the impact of the Trump administration's decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelan migrants in the U.S., affecting approximately 348,202 individuals. Alejandro, a beneficiary of the program, shares his anxiety about the potential loss of legal status, jeopardizing plans for marriage and a stable future. The TPS program was designed to protect immigrants unable to return to their home countries due to adverse conditions. Alejandro and his family had found stability under TPS, but recent policy changes threaten to destabilize their lives once again.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Noem officially terminated the extension of the TPS for Venezuela, a decision that could leave 348,202 Venezuelans without legal status or right to work.
