Colombia to Give Temporary Protective Status to Venezuelan Migrants

Reuters

   BOGOTA - Colombia will give temporary protective legal status to
   Venezuelan migrants, President Ivan Duque said Monday in a joint
   announcement with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo
   Grandi.

   The status will allow the migrants to work legally in Colombia.
   Colombia has been the top destination for people fleeing economic and
   social collapse in neighboring Venezuela. About 966,000 of the 1.73
   million Venezuelan migrants living in Colombia do not currently have
   legal status.
