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 \u201cevery tool at our disposal\u2014sanctions, prosecutions, asset seizures, extradition requests, and international cooperation\u201d to dismantle these networks and impose costs on perpetrators.<\/p>\n

New visa restriction policy\u2019s link to President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The announcement made by the US government builds on President Donald Trump\u2019s March executive order prioritizing prosecutions of cyber-enabled fraud and directing agencies to strengthen tools against transnational criminal organizations. The order warned that countries tolerating such schemes could face sanctions, visa restrictions, foreign aid limits, and expulsion of complicit officials. Trump described cybercrime as \u201cdraining American families of their life savings\u201d and highlighted losses of more than $12.5 billion in 2024, with seniors hit hardest.<\/p>\n

Chinese criminal networks in spotlight<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

As reported by Epoch Times, Rubio\u2019s statement pointed to Chinese transnational criminal organizations as orchestrators of \u201cpig butchering\u201d scams, in which victims are lured into fraudulent investments through fake online relationships. These groups allegedly defrauded US citizens of at least $10 billion in 2024, while fueling corruption, money laundering, and human trafficking. American children have also been targeted in sextortion scams, causing severe harm to families.<\/p>\n

Recent enforcement actions<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

The Treasury Department in June sanctioned 35 individuals and entities linked to Cambodia\u2019s Prince Group network, accused of running scam compounds using trafficked labor for cryptocurrency fraud. The Justice Department indicted the group\u2019s chairman and moved to seize billions in bitcoin. Losses from cryptocurrency investment fraud alone reached $7.2 billion in 2025, according to FBI data.Rubio underscored that the visa restrictions are part of a broader campaign to protect Americans from predatory schemes. \u201cBy restricting visa issuance to those who are responsible for or complicit in these criminal enterprises, we are sending a clear message: The United States will go after those who prey on our citizens,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
