75 USA Congress members oppose immigrant visa pause announced by State Department

Tirana, 04 February 2026, dtt-net.com – 75 members of the USA Congress have called Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to “reverse course” on their decision to indefinitely halt immigrant visa processing for 75 countries, of which 5 from Western Balkans region. “We write to strongly condemn your unilateral move to pause issuing all immigrant visas for 75 countries. This is an outrageous, and discriminatory policy decision by your Administration impacting nearly 40% of all countries. It is also stunning that such a drastic policy change impacting hundreds of thousands of people a year would be announced not only by tweet, but also without offering any meaningful information about the ‘pause’,” they wrote in the letter sent last week.
