Overview

• Miami-area Republican representatives Carlos Gimenez, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Maria Elvira Salazar are challenging the Trump administration's broad rescission of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and parole programs for immigrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, and Nicaragua.
• Rep. Salazar has introduced bipartisan legislation to extend TPS for Venezuelans by 18 months, citing the need to protect law-abiding migrants from deportation to unstable regions.
• Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has signaled potential alternative pathways for affected migrants during the mandatory 60-day notice period preceding TPS termination.
• A federal judicial stay remains in place, temporarily blocking the termination of TPS for Venezuelans due to procedural flaws and allegations of bias in the administration's decision-making process.
• Miami Republicans emphasize the economic and social contributions of immigrant communities, arguing that blanket deportations would harm local industries and families.
