"Today, I am announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply to foreign officials and persons who are complicit in censoring Americans. Free speech is essential to the American way of life — a birthright over which foreign governments have no authority," wrote Rubio.
Entering the U.S. is a privilege and not a right, Rubio stressed, as Biden administration holdovers, Democrat lawyers and liberal activists are seeking to obstruct President Donald Trump's administration on deportations, border security and visa restrictions.
"Foreigners who work to undermine the rights of Americans should not enjoy the privilege of traveling to our country," Rubio added in an ensuing X post. "Whether in Latin America, Europe or elsewhere, the days of passive treatment for those who work to undermine the rights of Americans are over."
