The State Department announced that over 175,000 visas have been revoked under President Donald Trump’s administration as part of a broad immigration crackdown.
Visa revocations targeted foreign nationals accused of violating their visa terms, committing crimes, inciting violence against U.S. citizens, defrauding Americans, abusing the immigration system, or posing threats to national security.
The big picture: The majority of revocations followed law enforcement encounters, with offenses including assault, DUI, theft, and drug-related crimes.
Notable cases cited include individuals charged with felony rape, sexual battery, kidnapping, human trafficking and possession of child sexual abuse material.
Go deeper: Over 100 visas were revoked from parents in North Africa alleged to have traveled to the U.S. primarily for “birth tourism” to secure citizenship for their children.
