Jan. 29 (UPI) -- Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday revoked an 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status for an estimated 600,000 Venezuelan migrants in the United States.

"Today, we withdrew the ridiculous Biden administration order that allowed unvetted illegal immigrants from Venezuela, including members of the vicious gang Tren de Aragua, to stay in our country and violate our laws," DHS officials said Wednesday in a post on X.
