Overview

• Homeland Security announced it will terminate the 2021 Venezuelan TPS designation, with protections and work authorization set to lapse 60 days after a Federal Register notice unless a court intervenes.
• USCIS directed affected Venezuelans to use the CBP Home app for voluntary return and officials said self-deportees have been offered a $1,000 incentive.
• Earlier this year, the administration also ended a separate 2023 TPS designation for Venezuelans covering roughly 350,000 people following high court action.
• A Ninth Circuit panel has allowed terminations to proceed for Nepal, Honduras and Nicaragua, leading to expirations on Aug. 5 for Nepal and Sept. 8 for many Hondurans and Nicaraguans.
• San Francisco leaders rallied at City Hall and unanimously passed a resolution urging California’s delegation to press Congress for a permanent pathway for TPS holders as workers and families brace for job losses and possible deportation.
