Uphold Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans until conditions in Venezuela meaningfully improve, while maintaining strong criminal vetting measures.

Until conditions meaningfully improve, we must uphold our commitment to those we granted Temporary Protected Status while ensuring strong criminal vetting measures remain in place.

Salazar says she will continue supporting TPS protections for Venezuelans until Venezuela is safe enough for return, with vetting safeguards.

Salazar used a June 3 House hearing to press Secretary Rubio on Venezuela, saying U.S. policy should aim at democratic transition, rule of law, and free and fair elections there.

Recent same-term Venezuela-focused congressional action, but it does not show a TPS extension, restoration, or other direct delivery of the claimed commitment.

On May 19, Salazar joined faith leaders at the Capitol to call the Dignity Act the only serious bipartisan immigration reform bill before Congress, showing she is still pushing a broader immigration package.

This is concrete immigration activity within the lookback window, but it is broad reform work rather than a Venezuela TPS action.

The Dignity Act requires applicants to pass criminal background checks, stay in good standing, and go through tightened asylum screening, matching the vetting side of her stated approach.

This supports the criminal-vetting portion of the pledge, but it is not a Venezuela TPS delivery and does not prove the specific promise was fulfilled.
