Retaliation – Biden Regime Designates Former Guatemala President as Ineligible for U.S. Entry Following Snub of Biden Summit

Sundance reporting for Conservative Treehouse 

The Biden regime has designated Alejandro Eduardo Giammattei Falla, former president of Guatemala, as generally ineligible for entry into the United States.  The justification surrounds accusations of “corruption“; however, Giammattei Falla previously opposed the Biden administration and organized a boycott of Biden’s Latin America Summit in 2022 {link}.

The Guatemala president was targeted by the Biden State Dept for removal, and the recent election effort in Guatemala did exactly that.  The U.S. State Dept recently celebrated the election outcome and the installation of far-left socialists Bernardo Arévalo and Karin Herrera as President and Vice President {link}.  Two days later, they designate Giammattei Falla persona non grata {link}.

Following the snub of Biden at the 2022 Latin America Summit in Los Angeles, literally the next month, there was an odd assassination attempt on President Giammattei Falla {link}.  We said at the time it smelled like a Kashoggi situation, “At first blush I’m inclined to see Jose Ruben Zamora as the Latin version of Jamal Khashoggi; which is to say, he glows CIA.” {link}

The State Dept action today would be another datapoint in the affirmative to that suspicion.

STATE DEPT – The State Department is designating Alejandro Eduardo Giammattei Falla, former president of Guatemala, as generally ineligible for entry into the United States due to his involvement in significant corruption. The State Department has credible information indicating that Giammattei accepted bribes in exchange for the performance of his public functions during his tenure as president of Guatemala, actions that undermined the rule of law and government transparency.

The United States has made clear that it stands with Guatemalans who seek accountability for corrupt actors.  Over the past three years, we have taken steps to impose visa restrictions or sanctions on nearly 400 individuals, including public officials, private sector representatives, and their family members for engaging in corrupt activities or undermining democracy or the rule of law in Guatemala. Corruption weakens the rule of law and democratic institutions, enables impunity, fuels irregular migration, hampers economic prosperity, and curtails the ability of governments to respond effectively to their people’s needs.

The United States remains committed to strengthening transparency and governance in Guatemala and throughout the Western Hemisphere and we will continue to use all available tools to promote accountability for those who undermine it. (read more)

It sucks to notice that our U.S. government are the bad guys.  However, our U.S. government are the bad guys.
