A delicate balance: Why Doral GOP pols fight for Venezuelans, but avoid clash with Trump
Briefly

Doral Councilman Rafael Pineyro has taken a stand on behalf of Venezuelans in Doral as the city faces the potential rollback of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) under the Trump administration. With 40% of Doral's population being of Venezuelan origin, this resolution aims to urge President Trump to seek solutions for law-abiding Venezuelans facing deportation. The Venezuelan community, which is essential to Doral's economic success and local elections, now faces uncertainty that city officials are slowly beginning to address publicly.
Doral has become one of the most affluent communities in Miami-Dade County... largely due to the significant contributions of the Venezuelan community.
We are grappling with the rollback of deportation protections for Venezuelans... which threatens hundreds of thousands with possible deportation.
The Trump administration's looming termination of Temporary Protected Status puts many in jeopardy, affecting the economy and local sentiment.
Our resolution urges President Trump to find solutions for law-abiding Venezuelans; Doral's future hinges on this critical immigrant population.
