Argentinian officials forced to fly home from US after Kristi Noem failed to inform them visa ceremony was canceled

A delegation from Argentina, which arrived in the United States for a visa-waiver signing ceremony, was forced to return home empty-handed after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem failed to inform them that the event had been canceled, Axios reported.

Last week, a group of officials flew from Buenos Aires to Miami, where they were told by the Department of Homeland Security not to continue their trip to Washington, D.C., because the agreement - which would allow American and Argentinian citizens to travel between the two countries for up to 90 days without a visa - was “missing a signature,” a source told Axios.

The Department of Homeland Security and Argentine officials have denied the allegations in Axios’s reporting and said that the program continues to move forward.

In an X post, DHS pushed back on the original report and said that there were no new program-related documents needing a signature. The department said it "looks forward" to working with Argentine officials going forward.
