"I felt a relief, because I thought that there'd be a radical change in the country,"
"Maybe things were going to be different."
"the great news for those who are here from Venezuela on temporary protected status is that now they can go home with hope for their country a country that they love that there is going to be peace, prosperity and stability."
"But I would ask, if the U.S. has to extract a man who took over the government, how am I supposed to believe that the situation in Venezuela is good? It's contradictory, I see the opposite the situation is worse."
Sebastian, a 28-year-old Venezuelan architect living in Miami, felt relief when U.S. forces captured President Nicolas Maduro on Jan. 3 and expected radical change. President Trump later said his administration had conversations with Delcy Rodriguez and was working with her toward U.S. plans to run the country, leaving Sebastian disappointed and feeling danger remained. The Trump administration ended TPS for more than 600,000 Venezuelans last year, asserting conditions had improved. DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said Venezuelans with TPS can now return with hope for peace, prosperity and stability. Sebastian called that assessment contradictory given recent events.
