The US government has unveiled a new visa restriction policy under the Immigration and Nationality Act, aimed at dismantling overseas criminal networks accused of defrauding Americans of billions of dollars. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently announced the measures stressing that it will apply not only to individuals directly involved in cybercrime but also to their immediate family members. Rubio said that the policy specially targets those complicit in cyberscams and extortion schemes, which have devastated American families and drained life savings. He also emphasised that the administration is deploying “every tool at our disposal—sanctions, prosecutions, asset seizures, extradition requests, and international cooperation” to dismantle these networks and impose costs on perpetrators.
