Designation of Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS). ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [[Page 43226]] SUMMARY: Through this notice, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announces that the Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary) is terminating the 2021 designation of Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The 2021 designation of Venezuela is set to expire on September 10, 2025. After reviewing country conditions and consulting with … appropriate U.S. Government agencies, the Secretary determined that Venezuela no longer continues to meet the conditions for the 2021 designation for Temporary Protected Status. The Secretary, therefore, is terminating the 2021 Temporary Protected Status designation of Venezuela as required by statute. This termination is effective November 7, 2025. After November 7, 2025, nationals of Venezuela (and aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Venezuela) who have been granted Temporary Protected Status under Venezuela's 2021 designation will no longer have Temporary Protected Status … orderly transition'' period with respect to the termination and the expiration of any Temporary Protected Status-related documentation, such as EADs. The Secretary has determined, in her discretion, that a 60-day transition period is sufficient and warranted here given the Secretary's finding that continuing to permit the Venezuelan nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to the U.S. national interest. See INA sec. 244(d)(3), 8 U.S.C. 1254a(d)(3). Accordingly, the termination of the 2021 Venezuela TPS designation will be effective 60 days from this notice's publication date … permitting the nationals of Venezuela (and aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Venezuela) to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to the national interest of the United States. Based on my review, I have determined that Venezuela no longer continues to meet the conditions for Temporary Protected Status under INA Section 244(b)(1)(C), 8 U.S.C. 1254a(b)(1)(C). Accordingly, I order as follows: (1) Pursuant to INA Section 244(b)(3)(B), 8 U.S.C. 1254a(b)(1)(B), and considering INA Section 244(d)(3), 8 U.S.C. 1254a(d)(3), the 2021 designation of Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status is terminated effective at 11:59 p.m., local time, on November 7, 2025. (2) Information concerning the termination of Temporary Protected Status for nationals of Venezuela (and aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Venezuela) under the 2021 designation will be available at local USCIS offices upon publication of this notice and through the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283. This information will also be published on the USCIS website at <a href="http://www.uscis.gov">www.uscis.gov</a>. Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security. [FR Doc. 2025 …
