Overview

• The U.S. consulate in São Paulo confirmed the cancellation on Friday after giving Paula Coradi three business days to respond to an initial notice sent on Monday.
• Consular emails said unspecified information rendered her ineligible, declined further analysis of the decision, and directed her to submit a new application if she intends to travel.
• Coradi and PSOL deny any wrongdoing and characterize the move as political retaliation by the Trump administration.
• Coradi previously held a visa issued in 2018, sought a replacement after losing the passport that contained it, traveled to Chicago in August, and received the revocation about a month later.
• The case comes during a wider wave of U.S. visa cancellations and targeted sanctions reported against Brazilian officials in recent weeks, including the AGU chief Jorge Messias.
