US Plans Mass Revocation of Up to 200,000 Visas for Asylum Seekers
The Trump administration plans to revoke the business and tourism (B1 and B2) visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum in the United States. This would be the largest mass visa revocation in US history and is expected to be announced soon, pending possible legal challenges. The revocations, coordinated with the Department of Homeland Security, would not necessarily lead to immediate deportation but would remove the holders' status as short-term visitors. The process will be ongoing and dynamic.
