U.S. Terminates TPS for Venezuelans, Sets 60-Day Wind-Down and Self-Return Offer

Homeland Security cites failed legal criteria, framing the move as a border security measure.

EE.UU. elimina el Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS) para venezolanos en 2025
Revoca Estados Unidos TPS para venezolanos

Overview

  • DHS said the Venezuela TPS designation will expire on September 10, 2025, with termination taking effect 60 days after Federal Register publication.
  • Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the decision, stating Venezuela no longer meets statutory requirements for the humanitarian program.
  • USCIS official Matthew Tragesser argued TPS functions as a magnet for irregular migration that conflicts with the administration’s border enforcement strategy.
  • A voluntary “self-return” option via the CBP Home app offers free airfare, a $1,000 payment, and potential eligibility for future legal immigration pathways.
  • Roughly 240,000 Venezuelans who applied since the 2021 designation could be affected, and recent court blocks of similar terminations for other countries signal likely legal challenges.
