US cancels 300,000 visas since Trump return
The U.S. Department of State announced that it has revoked over 300,000 visas for foreign nationals since President Donald Trump began his second term in January 2025, as part of a policy to tighten scrutiny of visa holders and enhance national security. The cancellations included cases related to criminal activities such as assault, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, theft, as well as participation in "birth tourism," where foreigners travel to the United States specifically to give birth. These measures are part of a more rigorous approach, involving increased vetting of visa applications, reviewing social media activity, and expanding background check procedures, all aimed at protecting national security and reducing violations, despite criticisms from human rights advocates regarding these policies.
