The State Department is preparing to sharply reduce the number of U.S. diplomatic posts in Africa authorized to process visa applications, consolidating full consular operations into 20 regional hubs across the continent as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to tighten control over immigration.
The changes are expected to take effect in June, according to three U.S. officials and an internal State Department memo. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the policy publicly.

ANALYSIS – The cauldron of global chaos enabled by America’s weakness and incompetence under Joe Biden is boiling over.
As I have written about recently, we can expect terror attacks inside the U.S. soon as terrorists flood across our southern border, and potentially link up with pro-Palestinian and America-hating leftists.
But that will still be a bit harder than hitting U.S. military or diplomatic sites overseas. Especially now in Europe.
This is clear from the latest terror alert affecting U.S bases across the pond. These bases have just raised their Force Protection Condition (FPCON) to threat level “Charlie” – the highest in over a decade. And the second highest there is.
The U.S. Army employs a system called FPCON to assess and communicate the level of threat to military personnel and resources. These conditions range from normal peacetime operations to the highest state of alert in response to specific threats. According to the U.S. Army, the five FPCON levels are Normal, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie or Delta, the highest state of alert.
🚨 JUST IN: The threat level at US military bases in Germany, Italy, Romania, and Bulgaria have been raised to “Charlie,” which means an “imminent threat of terr*rism”
This is the highest threat level in at least TEN YEARS
However, Bravo, which indicates an increased or more predictable threat of terrorist activity, became common and implemented widely as a preventive measure to enhance security and preparedness across all Department of Defense (DOD) facilities for many years following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Meanwhile, Charlie sets in motion “curtailment plans for nonessential personnel.”
This means that the U.S. military has received an ‘active-reliable threat,’ and that an attack is “likely.”
“There is credible intel pointing to an attack against U.S. bases over the next week or so,” a U.S. defense official told Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson.
U.S. military facilities in much of Europe are on alert for a possible terrorist attack, according to a statement from the U.S. European Command headquarters. https://t.co/cABZpkIh9x
Charlie is deployed when an “incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely….”
The US Army Garrison in Stuttgart, Germany – where the US European Command (USEUCOM) is headquartered – is one of the bases with the heightened alert level. Similar alerts were also sent to other bases in Germany, including the US military’s Rheinland-Pfalz and Ramstein Air Base…
Bases in Italy, Romania and Bulgaria also received the alert…
The outlet added:
It comes after European authorities warned of a potential terror threat ahead of the Olympic Games in Paris, which starts on July 26. France raised its national security alert system to the highest level in March, according to the US embassy in France.
Officials at EUCOM [US European Command] declined to elaborate on the heightened terror, but the office said in a statement that it’s “constantly assessing a variety of factors” in terms of security and safety.
“For operational security reasons, we will not get into specific measures, but we remain vigilant,” EUCOM said.
While no one officially attributes the heightened terror threats to Biden’s ineptitude and weakness abroad, it is clear to many that this is playing a major role in the increasing global chaos and willingness of rogue states like Iran to use proxies to attack American forces and its allies.
