Trump administration revokes visas of 27 Latin American officials and families over corruption allegations

The Trump administration has revoked the visas of 27 Latin American officials and their families from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, citing corruption and ties to narcotics trafficking. The State Department announced the move on Monday, targeting individuals including Bolivia's attorney general, Roger Mariaca, who is accused of accepting bribes and helping criminals evade justice. The action is part of the U.S.-led 'Shield of the Americas' initiative to combat corruption and illegal migration. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently visited the region to pledge support for anti-crime efforts.
