VENEZUELAN TPS AND TPS EXTENSION TERMINATIONS – PLAINTIFF ONBOARDING

In this lawsuit we will represent a class of Venezuelans who are subject to the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). DHS’s failure to follow the regulations, delineating how TPS terminations are done, means hundreds of thousands of lawfully present Venezuelan nationals are being unnecessarily and intentionally stopped from lawfully living and working in the United States.

Federal agencies must provide reasoned consideration before changing a TPS designation and must act in accordance with law and procedure. Because DHS acted arbitrarily, capriciously, and unlawfully, we will seek an order compelling DHS to immediately reinstate the 2023 Designation of Venezuela for TPS and restore the previously authorized 18-month TPS and EAD extension – applicable to both 2021 & 2023 Venezuelan TPS designations – of our clients.
