On September 3, 2025, DHS announced its intention to terminate the 2021 designation of TPS for Venezuela which is set to expire on September 10. 2025. The 2021 TPS designation for Venezuela will terminate at 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 7, 2025, 60 days after publication of this Federal Register notice. The notice is scheduled to be published on September 8, 2025. This termination will impact nearly 270,000 Venezuelan nationals who currently reside in the United States. This termination will revoke their protection to live and work freely in the United States. The impacted Venezuelan nationals will be at risk for being placed into removal proceedings and may even face removal.

DHS argues that Venezuela no longer meets the TPS statutory requirements. Litigation is likely to follow this termination, and we will report on any updates to this matter.
