Ex Clinton Official Slams Trump's Quick Visa Revocations for Petro and Wife

A former Clinton-era official has weighed in on the Trump administration's decision to revoke visas for Colombian President Gustavo Petro and his wife. He contrasted the move with the lengthy interagency review that led to the revocation of President Ernesto Samper's visa in the 1990s. The official noted that Petro was once an active member of the M-19 guerrilla group but stressed that legal standards must still be followed before removing visas. He argued that the current process appears far less rigorous than the one used under President Clinton.
