WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The World Bank on Monday warned its Colombian employees against traveling to or from the United States after three staff members were affected by visa restrictions imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, sources familiar with the matter said.
The bank's security team issued the guidance after two staff members had their G4 visas revoked and were deported shortly after their arrival on flights to Washington, the sources said. G4 visas allow non-U.S. citizens to work for international diplomatic institutions in the United States.
