Washington,
October 27, 2020
MIAMI, FL – Today, U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (FL-26) released the following statement following Senator Marco Rubio’s letter to President Donald Trump requesting Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) designation for Venezuelans: “Senator Rubio has had numerous opportunities to support Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans, and he has refused. Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans would be protected if the Republican-controlled Senate or Trump supported our legislation to grant TPS to Venezuelans,” said Mucarsel-Powell. “If Senator Rubio truly wants to stand with the Venezuelan people yearning for democracy, he will support TPS and ask the Trump administration to do the same.”
