AI Summary
Main Idea: President Donald Trump’s move to review temporary protected status has left Venezuelan migrants like Carlos Carpio in Chicago fearing deportation and the loss of their legal ability to stay in the U.S.
Key Points:
- Trump ordered a review of TPS, a temporary legal status for people from countries hit by war or disaster, and could choose not to extend it after Biden’s 18-month renewal.
- Carlos Carpio says the uncertainty has changed his daily life, pushing him to stay home, carry documents, and live with constant fear.
- Other Venezuelan migrants in Chicago said they feel anxious and confused, while some are trying to keep working and living legally without panic.
- Trump’s move could face court challenges, and Venezuela does not currently accept deportees from the United States.
