Oscar Arias Sanchez, former president of Costa Rica and Nobel Peace Prize winner, shared on Tuesday that the U.S. government revoked his visa without providing a reason. The action, occurring amid a broader pattern during the Trump administration of canceling visas for individuals deemed hostile to the U.S., raised concerns for Arias, who openly criticizes President Trump. The notification he received cited an immigration provision allowing discretionary revocation, leaving Arias uncertain if the action was punitive due to his views. The State Department did not comment on the incident.
