The Biden administration will restart deporting Venezuelans directly to Venezuela in an attempt to curb the record influx of crossings at the US-Mexico border, according to senior administration officials.
Venezuelans who cross the US-Mexico border unlawfully and lack a legal basis to remain in the United States will be eligible for removal, the senior administration officials said on Thursday, adding that Venezuela agreed to accept back their nationals. “Today’s announcement is a key part of our continuing efforts to strengthen the consequences that are in place at the border for migrants who cross unlawfully,” one of the officials said. Some migrants have already been identified for deportation.
Last month, the Department of Homeland Security announced that Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is extending and redesignating Venezuela for a form of humanitarian relief known as Temporary Protected Status for 18 months for individuals that were residing in the US on or before July 31. DHS anticipated around 472,000 Venezuelans will be newly eligible for the status, according to a Homeland Security official.
