Trump administration says it has revoked over 300,000 visas
State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said the pace is a record, with 25% of revocations tied to assault and related offenses, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the State Department announced President Donald Trump's administration has revoked over 300,000 visas during his second term, with spokesman Tommy Pigott stating this pace exceeds any previous administration.
- According to Pigott, these revocations target foreign nationals who have broken the law, committed fraud, or posed national security threats; the administration claims these measures are necessary to improve domestic security.
- Enforcement accelerated dramatically throughout the year, with the State Department reporting over 100,000 revocations in January and more than 175,000 by August, reaching over 300,000 by October.
- Rights advocates condemned the crackdown, arguing it violates due process and free speech rights, specifically pointing to revocations of pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrating against Israel's actions in Gaza and those commenting on Charlie Kirk.
- Beyond visa revocations, the administration has expanded social media vetting and tightened screening requirements, measures that along with higher work visa fees aim to restrict both legal and illegal immigration pathways.
