MORE Venezuelans could end up in TT after the US Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump's move to strip 350,000 migrants in the US of protection from deportation, said Dr Anthony Gonzalez, former head of the Institute for International Relations (IIR) at the University of the West Indies, St Augustine, talking to Newsday on May 20.
The ruling overrides a California' judge's hold on that kept Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in place for Venezuelans whose status otherwise expired last month.
The status lets people live and work in the US legally if their home countries are deemed unsafe owing to occurrences like wars, natural disasters or other "extraordinary and temporary" conditions.
