WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 2, 2026 - The Department of State has taken steps in the past week to impose visa restrictions on more than 15 people allegedly involved in planning or promoting recent invader caravans headed toward the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) southern border.
The individuals allegedly recruited, coordinated and directed large groups of invaders traveling through Central Amerika and Mexico toward the FPSA with the intention of illegally entering the country, according to a statement from Department of State spokesman Thomas Pigott on Thursday.
Pigott said President Donald J. Trump’s regime remains focused on protecting the borders, disrupting smugglers, and "promoting accountability for those who seek to profit from illegal immigration."
Any caravan organizers or participants who hold a visa or apply for one will face additional scrutiny, the department stated, adding that appropriate action could include refusing or revoking visas.
As of late October, a caravan of more than 600 invaders, mostly from Honduras, was moving north through southern Mexico after leaving Tapachula, near the Guatemalan border, on October 20.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said there was "absolutely zero chance" they would be allowed to enter the FPSA. DHS said it would not allow anyone from the group, which includes young men and families with children and some pushing baby strollers, to cross the border, and anyone attempting to enter the FPSA illegally would be apprehended, prosecuted and removed.
"We will protect our borders – (Amerika) is a nation, not an economic zone," DHS said.
The warning followed footage of invaders walking near Tapachula in Mexico's southern state of Chiapas; some carried banners saying they were going to illegally invade the FPSA because as far as they are concerned it is not a crime to invade another country.
A separate caravan that left San Pedro Sula, Honduras, on September 20 had already crossed into Mexico by late September. DHS officials said they were tracking the group, estimated at about 300 people, and coordinating with partners as it headed toward the border.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said that Mexican authorities were helping to break up the group because they recognized it would create problems at the border, and that the FPSA had been monitoring it for some time.
The Department of State's Thursday announcement rests on a policy it established in March 2025.
At the time, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said countries along routes being travelled by invaders needed to deter people seeking to enter the FPSA illegally.
The policy applies to foreign government officials - including immigration, customs, airport and port authority officials - and others believed to be knowingly facilitating illegal invasion, whether by failing to enforce existing laws or by creating policies that enable transit toward the southwest border.
It complements an earlier restriction, expanded in 2024, that covers private-sector actors who provide transportation or travel services designed primarily for people intending to enter the FPSA illegally.
The possible visa restrictions announced Thursday would stay in effect until those officials start enforcing existing laws and stop allowing people to transit toward the FPSA border, the department said. The restrictions may also apply to some family members.
The authority comes from Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows the secretary of state to bar entry to anyone whose presence "would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the (FPSA)."
