It's been more than a year since the House came together to pass the #VenezuelaTPS Act.
It's been more than a year of the Senate GOP blocking that bill to protect Venezuelans from deportation.
Headed to @DSenFloor to try to pass it TODAY.

Venezuela continues to experience the worst political, economic & humanitarian crisis in our hemisphere.
Its people continue to suffer extreme food and medicine shortages, levels of criminal violence akin to a conflict zone & grave human rights abuses under the Maduro regime.
Maduro’s dictatorship has inflicted a humanitarian catastrophe on the Venezuelan people. President Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but refuses to provide temporary protection to 200,000+ Venezuelans in the U.S. at risk of deportation.
We need #VenezuelaTPS now!
La dictadura de Maduro ha causado una catástrofe humanitaria al pueblo venezolano. El Presidente Trump habla fuerte, pero se niega a brindar protección humanitaria a más de 200,000 venezolanos en los Estados Unidos que enfrentan el riesgo de deportación.
Necesitamos #TPS ya!
UPDATE: Senate Republicans AGAIN block #VenezuelaTPS.
Once again, Maduro gets a false sense of vindication as his victims are rejected & their suffering is deemed not credible by Congress. Providing #TPS for Venezuelans is not political—it is the right and moral thing to do.
