US embassy warns of jail, deportation and visa bans for illegal migrants

“Those who enter the United States illegally will face jail time and deportation. Embarking on a costly and dangerous journey will land you in jail or back in your homeland with a permanent mark on your record,” the statement further added.

This warning follows a broader immigration crackdown by the Trump administration, including recent enforcement actions in Los Angeles, California.

Earlier this week, the embassy had also issued a new advisory for individuals applying for F, M, or J non-immigrant visas, instructing them to set all social media accounts to ‘public’ to assist in identity verification and admissibility checks. Since 2019, US visa applicants have been required to submit social media identifiers as part of their application.

In a string of recent advisories, the embassy has underlined that obtaining a US visa is “a privilege, not a right”, and warned that breaking US laws while on a student or visitor visa could lead to visa revocation and future ineligibility.

On June 16, the embassy reiterated that the US “will not tolerate” those who facilitate mass or illegal immigration and noted that new visa restrictions are being imposed on foreign government officials and others found to be complicit.
