US EditionTrump administration reviewing all 55M people with US visas for potential deportable violations
The State Department's continuous vetting targets overstays and criminal activities, with over 6,000 visas revoked this year, including nearly 300 for terrorism-related issues.
- On Thursday, the State Department said all 55 million foreigners who hold visas for the U.S. will face continuous review, warning of potential revocations or deportable violations.
- The State Department said the expanded checks target indicators of ineligibility, describing the effort as 'continuous vetting' involving broader, more time-consuming re‑vetting than before.
- Using new tools, the department will examine visa holders' social media accounts, law enforcement and immigration records, with in-person interviews and device privacy switches required this year.
- So far the department has revoked 6,000 visas since January, including about 4,000 for infractions and 200–300 for terrorism-related issues, the department said, and revoked visa holders in the U.S. face deportation.
- Amid the review, the administration opened an investigation into Harvard University and Uganda agreed to accept deported migrants under conditions, while officials pushed to roll back humanitarian parole and Temporary Protected Status.
