The move comes as the Trump administration continues its immigration crackdown of which international students have been a focus.

The administration of President Donald Trump has revoked more than 6,000 student visas for overstays and breaking the law, including a small minority for "support for terrorism," a State Department official said on Monday.

Far-right activist Laura Loomer claimed without evidence that HEAL Palestine, which organized the trips bringing children to the U.S. for medical treatment, was working with pro-Hamas

Department of State has hosted 2,935 events in the C-SPAN Video Library; the first program was a 1975 News Conference. The year with the most events was 2024 with 274 events.

The State Department said it would start a pilot program that will require cash deposits to tourist and business visas for people from countries with high overstay rates.

Bondi’s letter was not entirely unexpected. In April, Trump directed the Justice Department to publish a list of all jurisdictions with sanctuary laws. Oregon and the city of Portland, which has officially been a sanctuary city since 2017, both made the list. The list was made public earlier this month.

A "Level 3" advisory, which is the second-highest that can be issued, asks Americans to "reconsider" travel to a particular country or area, in this case the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Crime and civil unrest are the reasons for the new warning.

The U.S. has also previously criticized alleged human rights violations in Afghanistan, China, Iran, North Korea, Russia and Venezuela. While the "human rights reports describe abuses in all these nations, the level of detail has been reduced" under the Trump administration's guidelines, said The Washington Post.
