The U.S. State Department revoked the visas of 27 Latin American officials, former officials and their family members on Monday, citing corruption and efforts to undermine democratically elected governments.

The targeted individuals hail from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. These nations participate in the Escudo de las Américas alliance, which the Trump administration established to combat drug trafficking and related crimes.

Bolivian Attorney General Roger Mariaca faces the most prominent restrictions. Officials accused him of soliciting and accepting bribes to facilitate narcotics trafficking and of assisting violent criminals in evading justice. Additional Bolivian judges, prosecutors and an ex-minister of justice also lost visa eligibility.

Colombia saw sanctions against a businessman and a senator linked to opposition groups. Ecuador and Peru each contributed a smaller number of judges and officials to the list.

The revocations align with the administration's broader push to back right-leaning governments in the region against internal obstacles to anti-crime efforts. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently visited several of the affected countries and pledged continued U.S. support for their security initiatives.

State Department statements emphasized that such measures protect democratic institutions and the rule of law across the hemisphere. The policy extends to immediate family members of those involved in corrupt acts or narco-related activities.

No Brazilian nationals appear on the list. The action builds on prior visa restrictions under similar authorities targeting foreign corruption.
