Many intend to stay in the U.S. But uncertainty from losing the status is intensifying pressure on business owners and straining family relationships.

The Trump administration unlawfully ended temporary protected status for thousands of Haitian and Venezuelan nationals living in the United States, according to a new complaint filed Monday.

Several Venezuelans and three immigrant rights groups have sued President Donald Trump's administration over its decision to end temporary protections against deportation for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan immigrants living in the United States.

Advocates argue that the administration’s decision to end TPS for Venezuelans in April and September is unconstitutional and racially discriminatory.

In a lawsuit filed Monday, immigrants and advocacy groups say the president does not have the legal power to end TPS early and that his decision is motivated by racism.

Lawyers for Civil Rights filed the suit Monday, seeking to protect legal status for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants who have fled their home countries.

The Department of Homeland Security rescinded former President Biden’s extension of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans.
