U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Washington has frozen the entry visa to the United States for Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who issued an order against former President Jair Bolsonaro – which among other things prohibits him from maintaining relations with foreign ambassadors or diplomats, claiming that he worked to have U.S. President Donald Trump intervene in his legal affairs. "This is a political witch hunt," said Rubio, who added that in addition to freezing de Moraes's visa, entry visas would also be suspended for "his allies in the court" and their family members. Brazilian media reported that in total, entry visas for eight judges of the Brazilian Supreme Court will be frozen.
