Trump Administration Plans Mass Revocation of Up to 200,000 US Visas Over Asylum Claims
The Trump administration plans to revoke up to 200,000 business and tourism visas (B1 and B2) issued between 2016 and 2026 to foreigners who have applied for or are seeking asylum in the US. Coordinated with the Department of Homeland Security, the revocations would not necessarily lead to immediate deportation but would reclassify visa holders' status. The move, potentially the largest mass visa cancellation in US history, is expected to be announced soon and may face legal challenges.
