U.S. Urges Citizens To Leave Venezuela, Warns Armed Militias Have Set Up Roadblocks To Hunt Americans
The U.S. Embassy has warned that the security situation in Venezuela remains highly unstable, urging all U.S. citizens not to travel to the country and to depart immediately if already there.

In a January 10, 2026 security alert, the embassy reiterated longstanding travel warnings dating back to 2019, when the U.S. fully withdrew diplomatic personnel from its Caracas mission and suspended all consular services.

The warning released by the U.S. Embassy about the circumstances prevailing in Venezuela has definitely reaffirmed that the situation is extremely unstable. For me, the most interesting part of this warning is the fact that this is not an isolated event but merely another repetition of warnings that have been prevailing since 2019 when all diplomats left the country from the capital, Caracas. Personally, I believe that the fact that armed militia groups have been installing roadblocks with the intention of saying that they want to distinguish Americans might symbolize something extremely risky that cannot be overlooked.

Interestingly enough, this type of notice is not only addressed to Americans but also serves as an understanding message towards anybody who chooses to travel internationally about the absence of security guarantees within this country. For me, the most essential part of this notice is that the only thing those who are already there should do is leave this country as soon as possible.

At the moment it would be best for everyone to just stay in their own country, the level of unrest right now is just something else.
