Venezuelan migrants who are applying for temporary legal status in the US say it offers some relief

After receiving death threats for openly opposing Venezuela's socialist government, Víctor Macedo and his wife fled, staying for a time in Spain before coming to the U.S. For nearly two years, they have lived in Florida with the support of family and friends as they tried to build a better life for their two children. They are among several hundred thousand Venezuelans living in the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security's recent announcement of status for 472,000 Venezuelans came on top of more than 242,000 who were previously covered under TPS grants in 2021 and 2022. In the past 11 months, U.S. Border Patrol agents had more than 199,500 encounters with Venezuelans at the southern border, compared with 2,700 in all of 2020.
