The US government announced Wednesday that it will allow 472,000 Venezuelans to remain in the United States and work legally for 18 months due to growing instability and unsafe conditions in the South American nation.
"President Joe Biden's administration extended and redesignated the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans who were in the United States before July 31, 2023, granting them temporary protection from deportation as well as access to work permits," the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement.
