Until Venezuela reaches real stability and a true democratic transition, Venezuelans deserve certainty, not uncertainty. TPS allows them to stay, work, and move forward safely here while their country rebuilds. That’s why I signed the Venezuelan TPS discharge petition, to ensure that protection remains and give Congress the opportunity... show more

The only discharge petition I will support is one that discharges all of these people back to Haiti. In 2022, Terry and Brenda Aultman were riding their bikes home when a Hatian on TPS killed them in my district. When do we care about their deaths? A few weeks ago, Yasmin Easman was murdered again by a Hatian here on TPS who used a hammer to crush her skull. When do we care about her? TPS is a huge SCAM. Let me be clear: I did not come here to protect Haitians; I came to protect Americans and our great country.

And here just another of countless examples Venezuelans dig through the remains of their homes, looking for their families, while right next to the rubble dozens of Venezuelan soldiers are just standing around with their rifles, not even bothering to look their way Venezuela 🇻🇪

We're using every tool available to extend TPS for Haiti and save lives. And the progress of our discharge petition is a testament to the strength of our coalition. We'll keep pushing to get this over the finish line and give our Haitian neighbors the protections they deserve.

Trump's corrupt Supreme Court majority has decided that our Haitian and Syrian neighbors' lives are disposable. Families who have built their lives here deserve safety, not fear. Congress must act now: protect TPS, pass the Haitian TPS Resolution, and restore dignity to our immigrant neighbors.

One thing I like about Marco Rubio is that he’s not afraid to call out communists and Islamic terrorists for what they are. Here’s a video of Marco from 2020 speaking to a group of Hispanic voters. “I am against dictators, terrorists and communists. If you are a terrorist, communist and socialist, as Maduro is, and on top of that a drug trafficker, I am against them." "If Joe Biden comes out and abandons the Venezuelan democratic resistance and enters into negotiations with Maduro, then we are going to have to have TPS for millions of Venezuelans and there will be no one left in that country. So, the reality is that the priority has to be that Venezuela is free so that Venezuelans can be in their country, which is what they want." When Venezuela is stabilized, we need to send all of the Venezuelan illegals back to where they came from, although I’d love for them to leave now! Marco gets it. I can’t wait for him to work with President Trump to remigrate all of the illegals in Spanish. Adios!

🇻🇪🇺🇸 Remember this Tulsi? "The US should not be in the business of intervening in Venezuela and picking who should lead the country. And we certainly should not be threatening military action. The US needs to stay out of Venezuela and let the Venezuelan people determine their own future."

During today’s House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, I asked Secretary Marco Rubio a simple but critical question: when will the Venezuelan people finally have the opportunity to participate in free and fair elections? The people of Venezuela have waited far too long for democracy, accountability, and the right to choose their own future. A lasting transition must lead to credible elections and the restoration of democratic institutions. The world is watching, and the Venezuelan people deserve a clear path back to freedom.

As a country that practices democracy, I believe it’s imperative we uphold the constitutional and democratic right for people to exercise their right to vote. I send this petition to the Electoral commission of Ghana.

There’s an old union saying: “Don’t mourn, organize!” We need solutions to the very real issues facing Americans, and the extremes on the left and the right don’t have them. That’s why I’m building a coalition to demand commonsense solutions that stay true to our traditional Democratic values.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇷🇺 What’s the difference between Russia and Israel? “The difference between Russia and Israel is that Israel is a democratic state" says state Department spokperson. So, if the USA confirms that a country is a "democracy" according to their opinion, that country has the right to commit genocide and massacre. This becomes terrible and dangerous.

I have worked for years to pass my Prevent Government Shutdowns Act. The bill would make sure that during a shutdown, Congress would have to stay and work while the American people are held harmless. Congress should stay in DC until DHS is open.

“Haiti is a failed state, and I think that deporting Haitians that are under TPS right now, back to Haiti, would be a huge mistake,” Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) said when asked about the Supreme Court ruling that strips Temporary Protected Status from Haitians and Syrians in the U.S. Gimenez also argued TPS for Venezuelans should be reinstated in the wake of last week’s earthquakes.

I've been saying this long before the earthquakes: Venezuela was not safe to return to then, and it certainly isn't safe now. That's why I've consistently supported TPS for people who cannot safely return home. But we can't keep relying on temporary fixes forever. It's time for Congress to pass real immigration reform.

🇺🇸🇻🇪 DHS ASSISTANT SEC: VENEZUELANS CAN NOW GO HOME TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE Tricia McLaughlin weighed in on Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans. She's stressing it's meant to be short-term and got abused under Biden, letting in bad actors like Tren de Aragua members and folks with nasty rap sheets. "That program, Temporary Protected Status, is meant to be just that, which is temporary, and we've seen too many times the loss of integrity in that system. They entered this country legally using Temporary Protected Status. And we need to make sure that that program is protected. Unfortunately, we saw it being exploited under the Biden administration to rubber stamp these individuals in. So I'm not seeing any changes to our posture on this. I think the great news for those who are here from Venezuela on temporary protected status is that they can now go home with hope for their country. A country that they love, that there's going to be peace, prosperity and stability." With Maduro out and the U.S. steering the transition, she's optimistic TPS holders can return to a stabilized Venezuela. No policy shifts expected, just restoring the program's integrity.

Americans deserve to know what their presidential candidates will do about real issues that matter to real people. So, we reached out to both candidates to give them the opportunity to sit down and share their ideas. I took everyday Americans’ questions about the economy to Donald J. Trump in a real-talk interview.

SECRETARY RUBIO: There is no international law that allows Iran to put mines in an international body of water and blow up ships. That’s what Iran is doing and it’s a criminal act. That’s why the U.S. military is guiding stranded commercial ships safely through the strait.

The Supreme Court on Thursday said the Trump administration can move forward with its efforts to strip more than 356,000 Syrian and Haitian immigrants of temporary protections that have allowed them to live and work in the United States. CBS News' Lindsey Reiser has more on what this could mean for citizens of countries protected by Temporary Protection Status (TPS).

Today at the Permanent Council, I reaffirmed that the situation of persons deprived of liberty for political reasons in Venezuela remains a human rights concern and a regional urgency. Repression and political persecution cannot be tolerated in our hemisphere. We reiterate our call for the unconditional release of all political prisoners and support greater transparency, accountability, and democratic guarantees for the Venezuelan people. The OAS stands ready to support dialogue, democratic institutions, and a peaceful, Venezuelan-led path toward stability, reconciliation, and prosperity. A stable and democratic Venezuela is essential not only for its citizens, but for the stability and well-being of the entire hemisphere. We call on all actors to engage constructively, uphold democratic principles, and work together toward a future grounded in human rights, representative democracy, and lasting peace.
