On April 1, 2026, the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) removed Delcy Eloina Rodriguez Gomez from its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List. The removal represents a significant shift in US sanctions policy toward Venezuela. Rodriguez Gomez, a Venezuelan citizen born on May 18, 1969, and identified by Venezuelan cedula number 10353667, was delisted in her capacity as an individual subject to Venezuela-related sanctions. OFAC maintained two entries for the individual under variant name spellings—"RODRIGUEZ GOMEZ, Delcy Eloina" and "RODRIGUEZ, Delcy"—both of which have been removed from the SDN List. The delisting affects all designations previously associated with these entries under the Venezuela sanctions programme. The removal from the SDN List means that individuals and entities are no longer prohibited from engaging in transactions with Rodriguez Gomez, and any previously blocked assets may become available for release, subject to applicable licensing requirements and other legal obligations. This action reflects a change in OFAC's enforcement posture regarding Venezuela-related designations and may signal broader shifts in US sanctions policy toward Venezuelan officials. OFAC publishes all changes to its sanctions lists on its official website, where the complete SDN List and related sanctions programmes remain publicly accessible. Entities and individuals subject to US jurisdiction should review updated sanctions lists to ensure compliance with current restrictions.
