NY Times: “Since President Trump began a widespread crackdown on immigration, few Republicans in Congress have criticized his efforts to facilitate mass deportations, including of migrants authorized to live or work in the United States.
But a small group of Republican lawmakers from South Florida has begun gently pushing back against the administration’s move to strip hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans of deportation protections under a program known as Temporary Protected Status, or T.P.S.
The objections from Representatives María Elvira Salazar, Carlos Gimenez and Mario Díaz-Balart — whose families fled Cuba after Fidel Castro gained power — were an unusual instance of dissent by congressional Republicans, who have rarely deviated from Mr. Trump’s policies, especially when it comes to his hard-line immigration agenda.”
