Venezuelan nationals in the United States could receive temporary legal status from the Trump administration if Sen. Marco Rubio gets his way.

The Florida Republican has argued that the Department of Homeland Security should render Venezuelans eligible for temporary protected status, a designation that shelters people from deportation if they can’t return to their home country. Such a move would be in tension with Trump’s broader immigration policies, including a review of the TPS program, but consistent with his administration’s rebuke of Venezuelan authoritarian president, Nicolas Maduro.
