The Biden administration announced Wednesday it was granting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who arrived to the U.S. before July 31.
DENVER — Since late 2022, Denver has cared for more than 18,000 migrants. While the city does not ask migrants their country of origin, it is believed the vast majority of people coming to Colorado from the southern border are from Venezuela.“It gives you hope for the future," said Marielena Suarez, executive director of Papagayo. “Even though this is not permanent, it is a good start.”
Villasmil explained that her home was shot at on the morning of July 28. Her two young daughters were inside at the time. By noon that day, she said her family was ready to leave the home. Villasmil said her family plans on settling in Colorado. They picked the state because her young daughters want to see snow, and she heard there were job opportunities in the area. She did not arrive in America before July 31, and is not eligible for the TPS work permit application.
Governor Jared Polis on Wednesday posted a statement of support for the work permits on social media.
