On Wednesday afternoon, the National Security Department announced “the completion of the designation in 2021 of the, which will expire on September 10, 2025. The termination will be effective 60 days after the publication of the Federal Registry notice,” said the spokesman for the citizenship and immigration service (USCIS), Matthew Tragesser, in a statement.

More than 268,000 Venezuelans benefited from the immigration protection granted by the Biden administration four years ago.

This immigration benefit has been in the sights of for months, gradually revoking it for almost all 16 countries that enjoyed it.
