The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, rejected the decision of a United States (US) Court authorizing the revocation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of some 350,000 Venezuelans who are in the North American nation.

“TPS was the minimum protection they had, now they've taken it away. I reject and repudiate the withdrawal of TPS as a special protection for Venezuelan migration,” said the Head of State at the ceremony of handing over the Eastern Maternal and Child Hospital in Petare.

He reiterated that “migrating is not a crime” and that “taking away TPS is a crime because it is a right that they have, migrating is a human need.”

He pointed to the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, as responsible, who, together with radical sectors of the extreme right in Venezuela and the region, promote destabilizing actions against the people.
