Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei reappointed the country's attorney general to a new term on Monday, prompting U.S. sanctions, just months after the prosecutor was accused by the U.S. government of dismantling anti-corruption efforts.
Shortly after the announcement, the U.S. government deemed Maria Consuelo Porras ineligible for entry into the United States, citing "involvement in significant corruption," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
