Trump Administration Plans Mass Revocation of Visas for Asylum Seekers
The Trump administration plans to revoke business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for or are seeking asylum in the US, marking the largest mass visa revocation in US history. The State Department, coordinating with Homeland Security, will target B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026. Revoked visas would not necessarily lead to immediate deportation, but affected individuals would lose their short-term visitor status. The plan may face legal challenges and is still subject to change.
