Trump Administration Revokes Over 175,000 Visas in Immigration Crackdown
The Trump administration has revoked more than 175,000 visas as part of a comprehensive immigration crackdown. The U.S. State Department stated that the revocations targeted individuals who violated visa terms, committed crimes, or posed threats to national security. The majority of these revocations followed law enforcement encounters involving crimes such as assault, theft, and drug offenses. The department also addressed 'birth tourism,' revoking visas from parents who traveled to the U.S. to give birth for citizenship purposes. This move is part of a broader effort to tighten immigration policies, including stricter visa issuance and enhanced social media vetting.
