Prosecutor General Ohio Dave Yost asked Trump’s administration to review the security of migrants from complex countries. Now, when a clear anti -immigrant administration has removed these protection against 350,000 VenezuelansS, the Yost office does not answer the questions.
Last week, Yost and 17 other Republican General Prosecutors asked the upcoming Secretary of Internal Security Kristi Noem to review short-lived protected status markings, enabling some of the 17 countries in a complex situation in the United States due to the danger of returning home.
Yost noticed that some of these countries had short-lived status markings for decades – and claimed that it allowed some migrants to stay after it was “Return home safe for them.”
However, Yost did not mention one country to which he believed that migrants were secure. Asked if his spokeswoman said it Or the work of the Prosecutor General in Ohio.
The short-lived protected status markings formed by the Congress in 1990 last for 18 months, giving migrants the right to work when they are under security. Presidential administrations can renew the markings for an indefinite period, and Yost and other general lawyers quoted such extensions when they called for review.
Noem on Wednesday published an order Completion of short-lived protected status for 350,000 Venezuelans who received it in October 2023. Since then it will be 60 days.
The Order quoted the Venezuelan Gang Tren de Aragua as the reason why it is in the national interest to withdraw protection. But it did not provide any evidence that the gang members enjoyed protected status.
Temporary security for 250,000 more Venezuelans are expires in September If noem does not renew them. The Yost office did not answer when he was asked if he supported the end of the security.
Regardless of whether members of the Venezuelan gang enjoy a protected status in any number in the United States, it is likely that people will face them after returning home.
It has been estimated that he has The highest crime rate in the worldVenezuela has been needy over the last decade as a result of improper management of farm by anti -democratic socialists Hugo Chavez AND Nicolas Maduro.
It is said that the country is dominated by Mega-gang which are involved Drug trafficking, forcing, kidnapping and contract murders. And the US Department of Justice was accused by the Maduro government itself drugs, corruption, drug trafficking and other criminal allegations.
It is not clear if Yost considers Venezuela to be secure, but the US Department of State had This assessment of human rights a country to which Trump’s administration orders to return 350,000:
Practices “unlawful or any murders, including out -of -court murders; forced disappearance; torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment by security forces; raw and life -threatening prison conditions; arbitrary arrest or stopping by security forces; serious problems with the independence of the judiciary; Political or detained prisoners; arbitrary or unlawful disruption of privacy; Family members’ punishment for alleged crimes by a relative; illegal recruitment or use of children by illegal armed groups; Serious restrictions on the freedom of utterances and freedom of the media, including violence or threats of violence against journalists, unjustified arrests or prosecution of journalists, censorship and enforcement or threat to enforce criminal regulations on defamation in order to limit expression; Serious restrictions on the Internet; Significant interference in the freedom of the peaceful assembly and the freedom of the Association … “
He said not only the end of the protected status of those who can be sent back, but it will cost the American economy, he said Jennie Murray, president and general director of the National Immigration Forum.
“The elimination of protection for Venezuelans who are already here means that our workforce will lose hundreds of thousands of people who currently bring and work legally,” said Murray We -mail. “This will not only affect these people, but will increase the uncertainty of American companies that hired them.”
Proponents of immigrants claim that the end of the protection of Venezuelans Stokes is afraid of almost 1 million of all countries that have short-lived protected status in the United States, that they may be next.
These include the Haitians in Springfield, who were terrorized last summer after Trump and now President JD Vance spread racist lie That they stole and ate the animals of the neighbors. This caused dozens of bomb threats – including primary schools – and reports of physical attacks on Haitian migrants.
Yost He joined the stack.
Lynn Tramonte, the founder of Ohio Immigrant Alliance, called Yost’s Curcefful and told Venezuelan that they had the support of a wide swath of Ohioans.
“So we are clear, the Prosecutor General Ohio and (Secretary of American Internal Security) want to remove legal status from people who currently have it so that they can deport it,” she said in a text message. “They check more people who currently pay undocumented taxes. You can’t “make sense” because it is not. For every Venezuelan person who may be afraid of the loss of immigration status, we want you to know that millions of ohioans stand with you and are happy that you are here. You are part of what makes the state work. Be shame to continue playing politics with people’s lives. “
