How the new travel ban rules immediately impact visitors from Cuba, Venezuela and Haiti is unclear. The policy, which officially takes effect Monday at 12:01 a.m., does not have an end date.

Just months after President Trump won a landslide in Florida's largest Venezuelan enclave, a new FIU survey obtained by WLRN shows that enthusiasm has eroded significantly among the state's Venezuelans. But it also shows a stark division: those who have been in the U.S. for 15 years or longer tend to remain supportive of Trump.

Several Florida Democratic congressional members condemned the Trump administration’s earlier this week for revoking a decision by the former Biden administration to protect about 600,000 Venezuelan immigrants from deportation.

The program began in 2022 with Venezuelans as an effort to provide an alternative legal pathway for migrants who were increasingly coming to the U.S.-Mexico border. It later expanded to Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans.The program allowed them to live and work in the U.S. for two years while they sought other legal status.
