The Biden administration extended temporary protections to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans living in the U.S.
The Biden administration on Monday extended temporary protections to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans living in the U.S., despite growing calls from dozens of immigrantion advocates and Democratic lawmakers pushing the administration to help protect a broader group of exiles.
“This action is one of many ways the Biden administration is providing humanitarian support to Venezuelans at home and abroad, together with our regional partners,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement. “We will continue to work with our international partners to address the challenges of regional migration while ensuring our borders remain secure.”
