Rosen Statement on Supreme Court Ruling Allowing Trump Administration to Revoke TPS for Venezuelans

WASHINGTON, DC– Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement regarding theSupreme Court’s decisionto overturn a lower court’s decision to block President Trump from revoking Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans.
“Venezuelans still face dire and unimaginable conditions as a result of the Maduro regime’s brutality and oppression,”said Senator Rosen.“TPS has allowed law-abiding Venezuelans to escape political violence and economic collapse, and legally live in the United States and contribute to our economy. It’s outrageous that the Supreme Court is allowing Donald Trump to end this protection and send Venezuelans back into harm’s way.”
Senator Rosen has been clear in her support forsecuring the borderand making sure the asylum process is humane and orderly. She has also been outspoken in opposing mass deportation, and strongly supporting DACA and TPS recipients and their families. Earlier this year, shecondemnedthe Trump Administration’s decision to revoke a previously authorized TPS extension for Venezuelans and released astatementcondemning President Trump’s unconstitutional attempt to end birthright citizenship. Last month, Rosenhelped introducelegislation to reaffirm access to legal counsel during immigration proceedings.
