US Revokes Over 6,000 Visas in Crackdown on Birth Tourism
The US State Department has revoked over 6,000 visas linked to birth tourism, a practice where foreign nationals travel to the US to give birth and secure citizenship for their child. This action follows an executive order signed by President Trump in August, empowering officials to deny entry, revoke visas, and target facilitators involved in birth tourism. The Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force investigates and holds accountable individuals and networks facilitating such travel, citing cases of false statements and misleading itineraries.
