Disney World has placed dozens of Venezuelan employees on unpaid leave after a court ruling allowed the Trump administration to strip legal protections from 350,000 migrants.
An estimated 45 employees at the Florida park were notified on Tuesday that they had been placed on unpaid leave as a direct result of a Supreme Court order allowing Trump to revoke Temporary Protected Status for a huge cohort of Venezuelans.
These employees were warned that their jobs would be terminated next month if they could not secure a new work authorization, Bloomberg reported.
'As we sort out the complexities of this situation, we have placed affected employees on leave with benefits to ensure they are not in violation of the law,' a Disney spokesperson said.
'We are committed to protecting the health, safety, and well-being of all our employees who may be navigating changing immigration policies and how they could impact them or their families.'
