The US is taking action to limit visas for executives of air charter companies who are helping with irregular migration to the US . These measures are in response to the increasing number of charter airlines offering flights to Nicaragua specifically for irregular migrants . These are the first restrictions to be implemented since our visa policy was expanded last month . These restrictions are aimed at transportation companies that take advantage of vulnerable migrants and enable irregular migration to the US . We believe that no one should profit from vulnerable migrants , including smugglers , private companies , public officials , or governments . We will continue to work with governments in the Western Hemisphere and beyond , as well as the private sector , to stop this exploitative practice . If necessary , we will impose further visa restrictions . Our visa restriction policy was announced in November 2023 and expanded on February 21 , 2024 .
