Venezuelans with legal status are being illegally detained in the US, lawyers say

Temporary protected status lets people stay when it's not safe for them to go home, but Ice is arresting them anyway

Venezuelans with legal permission to live and work in the United States are being unlawfully arrested by federal authorities at their homes, in their cars, at regular immigration check-ins and on the streets, attorneys say.

They are then stuck in immigration detention around the country, sometimes for weeks, despite the law explicitly banning the government from keeping them behind bars.
