Noem revoked on Tuesday the extension of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans granted by the Joe Biden administration in its last days in office. The extension would have granted 18 months of additional protections for Venezuelans with TPS status expiring in April and September of this year.

The Biden administration had extended protections for more than 600,000 Venezuelans. The cancellation of the extension could open them up to deportation in the coming months.

During the final days of his administration, President Biden extended TPS for some immigrants from Venezuela, Ukraine, El Salvador and Sudan.
