Trump administration revokes over 1 lakh visas, including 8,000 student visas, citing criminal activity

The US Department of State has revoked more than 100,000 visas, including thousands issued to students and specialized workers, as part of a sweeping immigration enforcement drive under President Donald Trump’s second term.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the State Department said: “The State Department has now revoked over 100,000 visas, including some 8,000 student visas and 2,500 specialized visas for individuals who had encounters with U.S. law enforcement for criminal activity. We will continue to deport these thugs to keep America safe.”
