US Revokes Over 300,000 Visas Citing Eligibility and Security Concerns
The US State Department announced that over 300,000 visas have been revoked since President Donald Trump began his second term in January 2025. Most cancellations involved individuals deemed ineligible due to criminal activity, immigration violations, public safety concerns, fraud, or misrepresentation. The revocations include more than 4,000 related to birth tourism, with over 700 affecting Chinese nationals. The administration describes this as part of an intensified effort to strengthen visa screening and enforce immigration laws, though detailed breakdowns by visa type or nationality were not provided.
