The future for Venezuelans with TPS remains murky. ADELYS FERRO, executive director of the Venezuelan American Caucus, said Venezuelans are still feeling stressed over an impending appeal. She also anticipates the TPS case is likely to escalate to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has lifted a court order blocking the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants under an 18th century wartime law
