Washington cancels 175,000 visas
The United States revoked more than 175,000 visas during the Trump administration's tenure, as part of a broad crackdown on immigration targeting those who violated visa laws, committed crimes, or posed a threat to national security. The main reasons for these cancellations included acts of violence, assaults, driving under the influence of alcohol, and drug-related offenses. Additionally, visas were revoked for individuals who came to give birth in order to obtain U.S. citizenship. The campaign also saw visa cancellations for immigrants who celebrated the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The number of cancellations peaked in January, with over 100,000 visas revoked, reflecting the administration’s stricter approach to immigration and the unprecedented deportation of large numbers of undocumented residents.
