Despite concerns following the United States’ capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is defending the administration’s decision to end Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Venezuelan migrants, reports Andrew Pantazi of Axios.
For many Venezuelans in the United States, Maduro’s ousting creates a new set of uncertainties, a team at The Washington Post reports. While many migrants who came to the United States from Venezuela seeking safety do want to return home, whether that will be possible remains unknown.
"There is pain and happiness, but above all, worry," Marcano Santelli, who now lives in Miami, told Jazmine Ulloa of The New York Times.
Elsewhere, the lead is as stark as the story: "Across the United States, someone is missing," write Lydia DePillis and Campbell Robertson, also of the The New York Times.
The pair cover how the administration’s increased enforcement and other policy changes "will profoundly alter daily life for millions of Americans."
"If you zoom back, the bigger problem is that we’re tarnishing the brand of America," said Dan Simpson, chief executive of fast-casual Greek chain Taziki’s, who also addressed immigration in a November op-ed in The Hill.
In her Bloomberg column, Patricia Lopez looks at how the administration has gone beyond what many Americans want — as our recent polling also underscores.
