The State Department revoked the visa of former Costa Rican President Oscar Arias on Tuesday.

Arias is a Nobel Peace Prize winner who often traveled to the United States to receive further accolades for his work while he was president. The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to him in 1987 during his first term, during which he negotiated peace for a brewing civil war in Latin America due to an uprising from Nicaraguan rebels.
