Trump’s strikes make it even more critical to restore TPS for Venezuelans. Venezuela is clearly dangerous and unstable. It’s inhumane to send law-abiding immigrant families back into this mess.

I am heartbroken and infuriated by the Supreme Court’s despicable decision on TPS for Haitians and Syrians. I plan to introduce a bill to reverse this ruling. This callous ruling will have devastating implications for 1.3 million TPS recipients who have been targeted by Trump despite abiding by the law and contributing to Florida’s economy. The Court selectively ignored Trump’s open racism against Haitians to imply that race was not a factor in this case. We all know better. Hundreds of thousands of families who followed the law, passed multiple criminal background checks, earned work permits, and paid taxes will be torn apart, thrown in ICE jails, or sent back to a nation overrun by criminal gangs who murder and kidnap at will. Haitian-American children—U.S. citizens—will be orphaned, detained in horrific conditions, or deported alongside their parents to imminent danger. Americans will pay even higher prices for groceries, healthcare, housing, and childcare. I have proudly led the fight to protect Venezuelan, Haitian, and Cuban immigrant communities from Trump’s collective punishment. I led nearly 200 Congressional Democrats in an amicus brief defending TPS in this Supreme Court case, and I fought alongside Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley to successfully force a House vote on legislation extending TPS for Haiti. This fight is not over. The mission to protect our law-abiding neighbors from ICE brutality and provide a lawful pathway to permanent status has never been more urgent, and I will continue working tirelessly to achieve those goals.
