Trump administration has revoked more than 175,000 visas, State Department says
Most revocations followed criminal arrests, fraud cases and national-security concerns, and the department said continuous vetting is meant to protect Americans.
- On Monday, the State Department announced it has revoked more than 175,000 visas during President Donald Trump's administration, marking a significant escalation in travel privilege cancellations for foreign nationals.
- Most revocations followed law enforcement encounters for criminal activity, with the State Department citing "assault, driving under the influence, theft, and drug crimes" as the leading causes.
- Specific examples cited include foreigners who "celebrated" the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and over 100 visas for "birth tourist" parents in North Africa who came to the United States primarily to give birth.
- This total exceeds the more than 100,000 revocations reported in January, reflecting the broad immigration crackdown initiated when Trump returned to the White House last year with stricter social media vetting.
- Rights advocates have condemned the administration's social media screening efforts, arguing they threaten free speech and amount to surveillance while singling out immigrants, creating tension between security and privacy.
