Venezuelans trying to escape the human rights abuses under the Maduro regime would be eligible for Temporary Protected Status under legislation proposed by Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart.
If the TPS Act is passed, Venezuelans would be shielded from deportation because of the economic, humanitarian, and security crises created there by Maduro.
Diaz-Ballart says Venezuelans who sought safety in the United States should not be forced to return to such dangerous conditions.
