DHS Announces Extension of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuela

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas today extended the designation of Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months. 

“As one of my first actions as Secretary, I designated Venezuela for TPS,” said Secretary Mayorkas. “After careful consideration, and in consultation with the Secretary of State, today I am extending that designation. This action is one of many ways the Biden administration is providing humanitarian support to Venezuelans at home and abroad, together with our regional partners. We will continue to work with our international partners to address the challenges of regional migration while ensuring our borders remain secure.” 

The 18-month extension of TPS for Venezuela will be effective from September 10, 2022, through March 10, 2024.
