Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) welcomed President Donald Trump’s decision to grant Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) to eligible Venezuelan nationals currently in the U.S. Rubio has repeatedly advocated for a temporary solution for Venezuelans who cannot return home due to safety concerns. In addition to introducing the Venezuela Temporary Protected Status and Asylum Assistance Act of 2019, he also urged POTUS to exercise his constitutional authority to conduct foreign relations and grant DED to eligible Venezuelan nationals currently residing in the U.S.
“The Trump Administration has taken a significant and much-needed step to help Venezuelan nationals residing in the U.S.,” Rubio said. “Venezuela remains a nation in crisis as Maduro’s narco-terrorist regime continues to commit senseless acts of violence against the Venezuelan people. America remains a beacon of hope and freedom for many, and now eligible Venezuelan nationals in the U.S. will receive much-needed temporary immigration relief thanks to the Trump Administration.”
Rubio is the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.

RUBIO APLAUDE DESIGNACIÓN DE LA ADMINISTRACIÓN TRUMP DE OTORGAR DED PARA VENEZOLANOS EN EE.UU.
Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) aplaudió la decisión del presidente Donald Trump de otorgar la Salida Obligatoria Diferida (DED, por sus siglas en inglés) a venezolanos elegibles actualmente en EE.UU. En repetidas ocasiones, Rubio ha abogado por una solución temporal para los venezolanos que no pueden regresar a su país natal por motivos de seguridad. Adicionalmente, Rubio introdujo la Ley de Estado de Protección Temporal y Asilo de Venezuela del 2019. También, el senador instó al presidente a ejercer su autoridad constitucional para llevar a cabo relaciones exteriores y otorgarles el DED a los venezolanos elegibles que actualmente están en EE.UU.
“La administración Trump ha dado un paso importante y muy necesario en ayuda a los ciudadanos venezolanos que residen en los Estados Unidos”, Rubio dijo. “Venezuela sigue siendo un país en crisis mientras el régimen narcoterrorista de Nicolás Maduro continúa cometiendo actos de violencia contra el pueblo venezolano. EE.UU. sigue siendo un faro de esperanza y libertad para muchos y ahora los venezolanos elegibles en los Estados Unidos recibirán un alivio migratorio temporal muy necesario gracias a la actual administración”.
Rubio es el Presidente del Subcomité de Relaciones Exteriores para el Hemisferio Occidental, Delincuencia Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
