‘I Came Here Legally”: Venezuelan Woman in Houston Fears TPS Rollback

Carolina left Venezuela because life there had become unbearable. “The services are almost non-existent,” she told KPRC 2. “Water is rationed. Electricity can go out for eight to 12 hours a day. And food is so expensive—even people with a profession can’t afford a basic trip to the market.” After more than two years of living legally in Houston under the Temporary Protected Status program, Carolina is now afraid she could be sent back. “I came here legally,” she said. “I’ve been doing everything right. But now I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
