In a strong stance against illegal immigration, the United States Embassy announced it will impose new visa restrictions on foreign officials involved in such activities. The announcement aligns with recent offensive measures in Los Angeles targeting mass immigration.
The embassy's statement, shared via their social media platform, further stated that the Trump administration has designated several criminal cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations due to their involvement in alien smuggling. These adjustments are aimed at curbing the rising tide of illegal entry into the United States.
Furthermore, the US warned that countries not facilitating the repatriation of their nationals will face stringent restrictions on entry for their citizens. Despite these measures, the United States continues to welcome lawful visitors, underlining that abuse of visas and the country's immigration laws will not be tolerated.
