US urges Americans to leave Venezuela after militia threat
The State Department issues an urgent warning after reports of armed pro-government groups setting up checkpoints and searching vehicles
US urges Americans to leave Venezuela as security risks rise following reports that armed militias are actively trying to locate U.S. citizens inside the country. The warning was issued in a security alert released by the State Department, which advised Americans to depart immediately while some international flights have resumed.
The alert states that armed pro-government groups known as colectivos have reportedly established checkpoints and are stopping vehicles to search for U.S. nationals or individuals believed to support the United States. These activities significantly increase the risks for travelers moving through urban areas and major roadways.
In its advisory, the department urged citizens to remain vigilant and exercise extreme caution when traveling by road. Officials warned that the presence of armed groups conducting inspections creates an unpredictable and potentially dangerous environment.
The department emphasized that US urges Americans to leave Venezuela as soon as possible to reduce exposure to potential threats, particularly while limited commercial flight options remain available.
Given the evolving security situation and the reported actions of the militias, the advisory reiterates that US urges Americans to leave Venezuela without delay and to make immediate travel arrangements.
