Why is there no movement on #VenezuelaTPS? Why hasn't the new administration done this incredibly obvious and simple political lay-up?
Surely, there can be no doubt that #Venezuela presents conditions of violence, strife, chaos and unrest sufficient for #TPS.
@POTUS campaigned on a promise of TPS for #Venezuelans. It was a clear distinction between Biden's approach and Trump's big stick and nothing else approach. But maybe Venezuelans did not believe that Biden would follow through. He was part of the Obama administration, after all.

This weekend, #Trump’s Special Advisor on #Venezuela, #ElliottAbrams announced brand new sanctions not just on Venezuela, which is under a virtual total #blockade, but also on Lloyd's of #London.
A year ago today, #Venezuela awoke to shocking developments.
Opposition leader Juan Guaido was outside La Carlota military base in Caracas with a group of soldiers. He was joined by Leopoldo Lopez, who'd been freed from house arrest overnight.
A coup was underway.
Opposition leader Juan Guaido was outside La Carlota military base in Caracas with a group of soldiers. He was joined by Leopoldo Lopez, who'd been freed from house arrest overnight.
A coup was underway.
Lopez, who'd been in custody since 2014, tweeted pictures from the scene and said that "the definitive phase" in the struggle against the Maduro gov't was at hand.
The men waited outside the base throughout the morning, though it was not clear for what.
The men waited outside the base throughout the morning, though it was not clear for what.
Before long, residents eager to show their support for the opposition joined Guaido, Lopez and the small group of soldiers. So did gov't supporters, and a firefight erupted.

@AtlanticCouncil @AmericoDeGrazia @Miguel_Pizarro @DWStweets @RepRooney @NTN24 @EmilianaMolinaF @jmarczak @DiegoArea Venezuelans are undeterred In the aftermath of Nicolás Maduro's most recent abuse of power. They, and many of their representatives in the National Assembly, have united behind interim President #JuanGuaidó, reports @Miguel_Pizarro. #ACVenezuela.
@AtlanticCouncil @AmericoDeGrazia @Miguel_Pizarro @DWStweets @RepRooney @NTN24 @EmilianaMolinaF @jmarczak @DiegoArea The regime is doing what it can to confuse, to mislead, to frustrate the efforts of the international community to stay abreast of developments in #Venezuela. The only solution is to stand firm in the face of this adversity, urges @Miguel_Pizarro. #ACVenezuela.

1/ #Venezuela’s failed uprising has deepened the country's political deadlock and raised the likelihood of domestic or international escalation.
Our statement explains its immediate impact and proposes a way forward.

2/ The revolt appears to have been poorly conceived and easily subdued, leaving National Assembly chair @jguaido and his regional allies, including the #US, looking outmanoeuvred.
3/ On the chavista side of the divide, President #Maduro and his international partners may well feel empowered and emboldened, with little incentive to engage in talks with a disorganised and ineffectual opposition.

The city’s free Metro system is coming back on line as Venezuela recovers from its curiously timed electricity outages.

I was on #SimonBolivar international bridge connecting #Venezuela and #Colombia. #Thread
1. The '#humanitarianaid volunteers' were violent and masked up, unlike any humanitarians I have ever seen.
They also appeared to be aided (no pun intended) by the Colombian authorities.

2. What appeared to be a hand gun was seen with the 'volunteers' on the Colombian side. Y would #Colombian authorites allow a boy masked up to past them with a gun, was it really all about #humanitarianaid?
Or were they sending some kids to do their dirty work. #JustAsking?

3. The local community on the #Venezuela side were supporting their army- cheering on every push back. Clearing the stones after they were thrown at the soldiers and bringing water etc to soldiers on the front line
They didn't seem too welcoming the '#humanitarianaid volunteers'

I recently met with a desperate #Venezuela family about to overstay tourist visa. Dad (professional), mom (professional) and kid. Staying w/ relatives & desperate to find a way not to return to political threats, hunger, utter lack of services, including medical care...
Why me? I have #HumanRights background, a university job & #LatinAmerica experience. Basically bupkus in the terrordome politics of desperate people in Trumpland. But I bought them coffee (and a snowman cookie for a young 'un) and listened...
What separates me from them? Increasingly little. They were upper middle class and now scrounge for off the books manual labor. Would they be killed if they returned? Not immediately -- but slowly: no work, no food, no medicine, no hope. They've become #Refugees ...
