Those on the list have their U.S. visas revoked. The  U.S. Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Jean Manes said Tuesday the action was taken because they voted to allow the president’s re-election “which is clearly not allowed under the Constitution.” Bukele, said the called the decision “pure politics and the lowest form of interventionism.”
