Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, led a group of 25 Democrats to call on President Donald Trump to grant protective immigration status to Venezuelans fleeing the humanitarian crisis in their home country caused by years of socialist policies.

The Democrat senators sent a letter to Trump on July 27, asking him to use his executive powers to designate Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
