Overview

• Coradi received an initial notice on Sept. 22 giving her three business days to respond, and the consulate confirmed the cancellation on Sept. 26.
• Consular emails cited Section 221(i) of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act and did not specify the grounds for ineligibility.
• The consulate indicated it would not provide further review or explanation, advising that she would need to apply for a new visa if she intends to travel.
• Coradi denied any criminal or illicit activity and called the move political retaliation by President Donald Trump’s government, a position echoed by PSOL and allied politicians.
• She previously held a visa issued in 2018, sought a replacement after losing the passport that contained it, and traveled to Chicago in August for events with U.S. left-leaning leaders, as reporting notes a broader recent pattern of U.S. visa actions involving Brazilian figures.
