Tracking one ethnic group to the other, as the news trends.

The Trump administration, according to media sources, has revoked deportation protections for approximately 600,000 Venezuelans living in the United States, reversing a decision made by the Biden administration to extend their stay until October 2026.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the move, which restores the original Temporary Protected Status (TPS) expiration date to April 2025, instead of the extended date of October 2026.

The decision has sparked concern among the Venezuelan community in the U.S., as many now face the possibility of deportation.

TPS provides temporary legal status and work authorization to individuals from countries experiencing crises, such as war or natural disasters.

The Biden administration had extended TPS for Venezuelans due to the ongoing economic and political instability in their home country.

Critics argue that the revocation of TPS will leave many vulnerable individuals without protection and could lead to significant disruptions in the living status of many Venezuelans in the United States.

The Trump administration’s decision aligns with its broader immigration enforcement agenda, which aims to increase deportations and tighten immigration policies, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

According to experts, tracking and locating individuals for deportation, especially when they are spread across various states, is a complex task.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) uses a combination of methods to identify and locate individuals, including:

Databases and Records: ICE has access to various government databases that contain information about individuals, such as addresses, employment records, and other identifying details.

Collaboration with Local Authorities: ICE often collaborates with local law enforcement agencies to identify and locate individuals who may be subject to deportation.

Community Tips: ICE sometimes receives tips from the community about the whereabouts of individuals who may be living in the country without legal authorization.

Surveillance and Investigations: ICE conducts surveillance and investigations to track down individuals who are subject to deportation orders.

The announcement was made on Fox News by Kristi Noem, the new Homeland Security Secretary.
