Under Donald Trump's administration, Venezuelan immigrants in the U.S. have faced unprecedented attacks, including the annulment of their Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and the elimination of humanitarian parole. Approximately 350,000 Venezuelans were affected by the TPS annulment, which a federal judge has currently blocked. The administration has criminalized this community, using derogatory language and targeting them unjustly, despite many being law-abiding citizens. The deportation of individuals under the 1798 Foreign Enemies Act showcased a troubling disregard for due process, affecting even those without criminal records.
"We have been targeted by the new administration through insults and absolutely racist descriptors. We've been called animals, never differentiating between the thousands of Venezuelan workers who arrived here and the few who have committed a crime."
"The Trump Administration's use of the 1798 Foreign Enemies Act led to the deportation of 238 men to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, many without due process."
