They may have just done a "Find/Replace" to swap "USA" to "Venezuela" in some other country's warning to avoid travel to the US.

"Do not travel to or remain in Venezuela due to the high risk of wrongful detention, torture in detention, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary enforcement of local laws, crime, civil unrest, and poor health infrastructure," the advisory states.

"wrongful detention"
"crime"
"poor health infrastructure"
are all headlines from the US every morning.

And that's not even warning you not to fly via Newark...
