The memorandum, issued by the Executive Office of the President, addresses the crisis in Venezuela under the leadership of Nicolas Maduro. It emphasizes the need to extend Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for certain Venezuelans in the U.S., due to the dire situation in their homeland. The order defers the removal of Venezuelans living in the U.S. as of January 20, 2021, for 18 months, except for specific categories of individuals outlined in the document. Additionally, the Secretary of Homeland Security is directed to allow employment for those whose deportation has been deferred.
Simple Explanation
The President said that people from Venezuela who were already living in the United States by January 20, 2021, can stay here for a while because things are really tough in their home country. They are also allowed to work, unless they've done something bad that makes them unsafe or causes problems for the U.S.
