Trump administration reviewing all 55M people with US visas for potential deportable violations
- On August 21, 2025, the U.S. State Department announced it is reviewing records of over 55 million visa holders for potential revocation or deportable violations.
- This review broadens a previous re-vetting effort that was originally concentrated primarily on students linked to activities perceived as supportive of Palestine or critical of Israel, now applying to all visa categories through enhanced data collection techniques.
- Since January, the administration has canceled more than double the number of visas compared to last year, including over six thousand student visas—almost quadruple the previous amount—due to reasons such as overstaying, assaults, DUIs, and support for terrorism.
- On August 21, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced an immediate halt to issuing visas to foreign commercial truck operators, citing concerns that the growing presence of these drivers threatens both public safety and the jobs of American truckers.
- These visa actions reflect an emphasis on national security and discouraging foreign worker hiring, though economists warn the crackdown could harm the U.S. economy.
