More than 175,000 foreign nationals issued visas under President Donald Trump have had their visas revoked for allegedly violating visa conditions, committing crimes, or posing security risks.
It added that visas were also revoked over “reckless driving, sexual assault, child abuse, fraud, embezzlement and other crimes”.
Additionally, the government indicated that Secretary of State Marco Rubio determined several foreign nationals were subject to deportation on foreign policy grounds.
In recent months, the administration has expanded social media vetting for visa applicants, strengthened immigration screening procedures and increased scrutiny of people already holding U.S. visas.
The State Department has also reported a sharp rise in visa revocations, with overstays, criminal activity, fraud and other immigration violations among the reasons cited.
