Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday that Venezuelans in the U.S. who were previously under temporary protective status (TPS) can apply for asylum. "Every individual that was under TPS has the opportunity to apply for refugee status and that evaluation will go forward," Noem told host Gillian Turner on "Fox News Sunday." Noem ended TPS earlier this year for roughly 600,000 Venezuelan migrants who received protected status from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the Biden administration. |

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said Sunday that any new leadership in Venezuela would be required "to meet our demands" after the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
"When the president said the United States is going to be running Venezuela, it means that the new leaders of Venezuela need to meet our demands," Cotton told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union." "Our demands are now what they were before yesterday, that we want them to stop the drug trafficking, we want them to stop the weapons trafficking." |

| Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that the U.S.'s recent action in Venezuela was not similar to American actions in the Middle East, despite some recent comparisons.
"I still think that a lot of people analyze everything that happens in foreign policy through the lens of what happened from 2001 to 2000 — you know, 15 or 16," Rubio told CBS News's Margaret Brennan on "Face the Nation." |

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) slammed the recent U.S. operation in Venezuela, stating that "there are evil, brutal dictators all over the world" but "that does not give the American president the right to invade."
"Listen, there are evil, brutal dictators all over the world. That does not give the American president the right to invade those countries, in large part because we have seen how this script plays out. I watched your interview with Senator [Tom] Cotton [(R-Ark.)]. You asked him what the difference was between Iraq and Venezuela," Murphy told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union." |

Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, on Sunday labeled the recent U.S. operation in Venezuela an "imperial adventure." "Look, this is a long pattern and a particularly egregious example of a pattern of this administration not giving a hoot about the United States Congress, which, by the way, [Rep.] Jim Jordan [(R-Ohio)] just sort of gave the game away," Himes told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union," referencing an interview with the Ohio Republican that came right before his. |
