FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The State Department is revoking the visas of five foreign nationals who were arrested for driving drunk on U.S. roads.
“These five foreign nationals disregarded our laws and put our citizens at risk through their dangerous and reckless actions on the road,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott told the Daily Signal. “We will not allow foreign nationals who violate the terms of their visa, break our laws, and endanger American citizens to remain in the United States.”
One foreign national was arrested for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest with violence, drunk driving, and domestic violence.
“Outrageous and dangerous behavior that endangers American communities will never be tolerated,” the official said. “Visa revoked.”
Another foreign national was arrested for aggravated DUI with a blood alcohol level nearly double the legal limit while transporting a minor.
“Reckless behavior that puts a child’s life at risk on American’s roads is unacceptable,” the official said. “Visa revoked.”
A third foreign national was arrested for DUI with a blood alcohol level more than three times the legal limit. The driver then showed up drunk to a court-mandated DUI program.
“No more second chances for foreign visitors who put American lives at risk,” the official said. “Visa revoked.”
Another foreign national was arrested for DUI and causing injury to another person. The fifth was arrested for driving with heroin and a blood alcohol level more than three times the legal limit.
“The State Department will always put the safety of Americans first,” Pigott said. “That’s why the State Department conducts continuous vetting of visa holders to ensure that foreign nationals don’t present a danger to the American people.”
