The US government only nullifies authorization; Who will travel learns when checking in Brazil or arriving on American soil
The US Secretary of State, said on Friday (18.Jul.2025) that of the Minister of and of colleagues of the magistrate at the Court, as well as his family members. This is what was enough for the Brazilian media to start disclosing lists of names that would have been targeted by the measure without any official proof. Some vehicles have come to say that family members of the hit that live in the United States would be deported immediately. It is unlikely that this happens, at least closely.
The most important to take into account is that the United States do not inform the people who had their visas canceled. The visa is canceled and ready. In most cases, the target of the measure is not even known. The practical effect only occurs when this person intends to travel. When checking in, digital or at the airport, the visa is checked and the airline reports that the boarding cannot be performed.
In some situations, if the person for some reason embarks because the visa check was not done at check-in in Brazil, the process of blocking the entrance will be in passport control when arriving in the United States. By showing your document, the traveler will be informed that he cannot enter the country. It will go through the embarrassment of staying in a room on the airport until you can board a return flight – often without being able to bathe or change clothes.
In the case of cancellation of visas from Moraes and “Your allies in court”As Marco Rubio wrote, the media speculated that the magistrates affected would be these (in alphabetical order): Cármen Lúcia, Cristiano Zanin, Dias Toffoli, Edson Fachin, Flávio Dino, Gilmar Mendes and Luís Roberto Barroso. Only 3 STF magistrates would not be included in this list: André Mendonça, Kassio Nunes Marques and Luiz Fux.
The Brazilian media also speculated, without citing official sources clearly or any proof, which would have been included in Marco Rubio’s relationship other Brazilian authorities. In these speculation these people entered: (Director General of the Federal Police), Fábio Schor (Federal Police Delegate), (Attorney General of the Republic), (former STF Minister and current Justice Minister) and (Senator for the PSD of Minas Gerais and former Senate President)
None Of this information about who would have lost visa in the US was confirmed by the US State Department.
There are also speculation about family members of STF ministers who study or work in the US and could be deported. It is unlikely to occur in the short term. Luiz Roberto Barroso has a son, who works for the Brazilian bank BTG in Miami. There is no official state department information about whether the minister or members of his family would have lost visas in the US.
