Original Date Announced
May 29, 2025The New York Times reports that Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a new visa restriction policy aimed at foreign officials deemed “responsible for censorship of protected expression in the United States,” with Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes appearing to be the intended target. Judge Moraes has led a campaign to remove right-wing social media accounts from the Brazilian internet and has ordered U.S.-based platforms like Rumble to block users, which U.S. officials argue infringes on free speech. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also suggested potential sanctions against Judge Moraes under the Global Magnitsky Act, a measure typically reserved for foreigners accused of serious human rights violations or corruption.
