Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Administration Revokes More Than 175,000 Visas
Caption: Trump Administration Revokes More Than 175,000 Visas. The U.S. State Department says more than 175,000 visas have been revoked from foreign nationals under President Donald Trump's administration. The department said visas were revoked from people accused of violating visa conditions, committing crimes, calling for violence, committing fraud or threatening national security. Most revocations followed encounters with law enforcement, with assault, drink-driving, theft and drug offences among the leading reasons. The State Department cited cases involving serious criminal charges, including rape, kidnapping, human trafficking and possession of child sexual abuse material. A U.S. embassy in North Africa also revoked more than 100 visas from alleged "birth tourist" parents accused of travelling primarily to secure U.S. citizenship for their children. The department said visas were also revoked from several foreign nationals who it said had "celebrated" the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The latest figure is up from more than 100,000 visa revocations reported by the State Department in January. The measures are part of Trump's broader immigration crackdown, which has included tighter social media vetting and expanded screening of visa applicants.
