The Walt Disney Company has put dozens of Venezuelan employees based in Florida on unpaid leave while they are faced with the possibility of losing temporary protected status (TPS) next month, according to reports.
Bloomberg said Disney informed employees on Tuesday that their jobs would be dismissed next month due to a Supreme Court decision which allows the Trump administration to revoke the US protections for some 350,000 Venezuelans.
The workers would have been informed that they were placed on unpaid leave of 30 days from May 20.
If one of the employees is unable to provide the company with a new work permit by the end of the 30 days, Disney would have told them that they would be dismissed.

A Disney spokesperson told Fox Business that 45 members of the distribution had been placed on leave.
“While we will sort the complexities of this situation, we have placed the employees assigned to leave with services to ensure that they did not violate the law,” said the spokesperson in an email. “We are committed to protecting the health, security and well-being of all our employees who can sail in the evolution of immigration policies and how they could have an impact on them or their families.”
This decision comes after the Supreme Court agreed on Monday to raise an injunction from the lower court which blocked President Donald Trump’s decision to end the protected legal status of hundreds of thousands of migrants living in the United States

The decision opens the way to the Trump administration to move forward with plans to end the TPS protections of the Biden Administration era for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants living in the United States, it also allows the administration to go ahead with plans to immediately withdraw these migrants, which lawyers of the administration have argued that they should be able to do.
The protections were extended at the end of the Biden administration, shortly before the Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem In February, ended the program for a specific group of Venezuelan nationals, arguing that they were not in the national interest.

In March, American district judge Edward Chen of the American district court of the Northern District of California has agreed to maintain the protections in place, the seat of the complainants of the National TPS Alliance by judging that the end of the TPS program, which is extended by 18 months increments, is “unprecedented” and suggested that the abrupt end can be “predictive on negative stereotypes” on Venezuelan migrants.

TPS was created in the 1990s and allowed the government to designate dangerous countries for nationals to return, granting nationals already in American work permits and protection against expulsion if they are here illegally or if their legal status expires.
In 2021, the Biden administration offered a temporary legal status under TPS to the Venezuelans who entered illegally in the United States after fled the country’s economic crisis.

Before the decision of the Biden administration, Trump imposed serious sanctions on the regime of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, but resisted Bipartisian calls to grant a TPS designation for the Venezuelans during Trump’s first mandate. In January 2021, Trump promulgated the forced postponement program to protect certain Venezuelan nationals against expulsion for a period of 18 months.
