Disney Suspends 45 Venezuelan Workers Amidst Deportation Fears

In a surprising turn of events, Walt Disney World recently suspended 45 Venezuelan employees, leaving them without pay and facing possible deportation. This action follows a May 20th court decision that lifted the temporary protected status (TPS) for Venezuelans in the US. The situation has sparked concern, particularly among union representatives. "The situation is critical," says Oscar Tineo, a union delegate. "These workers are in a precarious position, and the 30-day deadline for them to obtain authorization is extremely stressful." Despite the uncertainty, Disney assures that the affected employees will continue to receive medical benefits. However, the question remains: what future awaits these workers in such a hostile climate? The incident highlights the vulnerabilities faced by immigrant workers and the complexities of immigration laws in the US.
