Federal Court Postpones Termination of 2023 Venezuela TPS Designation

On March 31, Judge Chen of the Northern District of California granted Plaintiff National TPS Alliance, et. al's Motion to Postpone the DHS Secretary's Decision to Vacate the Termination of the TPS Venezuela 2023 designation, which was set to be terminated on April 4, 2025. As such, the termination of the 2023 Venezuelan TPS program is postponed until further notice.
