Washington revokes over 300,000 visas in Trump era
According to statistics from the U.S. State Department, the administration of President Donald Trump revoked over 300,000 entry visas to the United States during his second term as part of its strict immigration crackdown. The department confirmed that the rate of cancellations accelerated, with more than 175,000 visas revoked since the beginning of his term in January 2025. Trump's campaign aimed to enhance national security by deporting violators, but it faced criticism from human rights groups who argue that it violates legal procedures and creates an unsafe environment, especially for minority groups. The crackdown focused on individuals accused of misconduct or social media comments. Additionally, the Trump administration implemented stricter vetting procedures for migrants' social media accounts and targeted critics using security justifications. It also restricted legal immigration by imposing fees and closing job opportunities, impacting immigrant communities such as the Somali-American population in Minnesota.
