The Trump administration has eliminated deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the United States, making them vulnerable to be sent back to the South American country in 60 days when the protection expires.

The Trump administration moved Monday to nix temporary deportation protections for an estimated 300,000-plus Venezuelans living in the United States. Why it matters: Revoking Venezuelans' Temporary Protected Status (TPS) puts those people at risk of deportation amid Trump's nationwide immigration crackdown.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is ending protections that shielded roughly 350,000 Venezuelans from deportation, leaving them with two months before they lose their right to work in the U.S.
