The Biden administration had extended protections for more than 600,000 Venezuelans. The cancellation of the extension could open them up to deportation in the coming months.

The Trump administration is revoking an extension that grants deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the United States through October 2026, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Wednesday that the Trump administration has revoked a decision that would have protected roughly 600,000 people from Venezuela from deportation, putting some of them at risk of being removed from the country in about two months.
