The U.S. State Department has revoked more than 100,000 visas, including approximately 8,000 student visas and 2,500 specialized professional permits, from individuals it states had encounters with U.S. law enforcement for criminal activity. In a statement, officials declared the action was part of broader efforts to enforce immigration laws, asserting, “We will continue to deport these thugs to keep America safe.” This mass revocation underscores the Trump administration’s intensified immigration vetting, continuing a pattern of stringent policies targeting visa holders linked to offences.
