AP: How the Trump Administration Is Expanding Its Immigration Crackdown to People Entering Legally
The pause is expected to affect family-based applicants while officials tighten public-charge rules and prepare to revoke up to 200,000 tourist and business visas.
- President Donald Trump's administration plans to revoke Tourist visas held by up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for Asylum, with the State Department expected to announce the revocations in coming weeks.
- Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said Monday that "Asylum isn't supposed to be a loophole to circumvent immigration laws," reflecting the Trump administration's aim to "send a message" about enforcement.
- The State Department paused all immigrant visa applications to brief consular officials on new "public charge" rules, affecting People seeking entry on family grounds including spouses and children of U.S. citizens.
- Experts note that revoking Tourist visas will have no practical impact on those already in the United States, since Asylum cases proceed independently of visa status.
- Julia Gelatt of the Migration Policy Institute says the actions reflect the Trump administration's broader philosophy of restricting immigration, though litigation may follow if the visa pause extends beyond early September.

Trump’s immigration crackdown has a Plan B, C and D
Donald Trump’s second-term immigration strategy has relied on multiple legal and administrative routes to tighten entry and stay in the US. When courts block one measure, the administration has often pursued the same objective through narrower orders, agency rules, higher fees or additional screening.
President Donald Trump's government has focused much of its immigration offensive on people who entered the U.S. without authorization from Mexico and elsewhere, but is now stepping up another battle: this time against those who legally arrive.
