State Department to Deny Visas for Transgender Athletes on the Basis of ‘Fraud’

The State Department has issued a directive to block visas for transgender athletes based on “fraud” and “misrepresenting” their sex to compete.

The directive was issued on February 24 and orders officials to issue permanent visa bans on those who misrepresent their birth sex on their travel documents.

The new rules will apply to the 2028 Olympics, which is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles.

The Guardian reports:

The 24 February state department cable obtained by the Guardian instructs visa officers to apply Immigration and Nationality Act section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) – the “permanent fraud bar” – against trans applicants. Unlike regular visa denials, this section triggers lifetime exclusion from the United States with limited waiver possibilities.

“In cases where applicants are suspected of misrepresenting their purpose of travel or sex, you should consider whether this misrepresentation is material such that it supports an ineligibility finding,” reads the directive from the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio.

The instructions come after Donald Trump issued an executive order on 5 February barring trans athletes from competing in women’s sports. While signing the order, the president directed the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, to deny visas to “men attempting to fraudulently enter the United States while identifying themselves as women athletes” during the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles – which will take place under Trump’s watch.

While signing the executive order, Trump told Rubio to let the International Olympic Committee know that America “will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes”.
