Description of the Event

Approximate date of impact

In the first quarter of 2025, the United States (US) and other countries in the region changed their migration policies, potentially increasing the return of migrants to Venezuela. Key factors include the expiration of US Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which benets 600,000 Venezuelans and 117,000 on parole. In addition, the end of an amnesty for Venezuelan migrants seeking residency in Ecuador and the number of Venezuelans stranded at Central American borders.
