US revokes 100,000 visas under Trump administration

The US State Department has reported that visa revocations have more than doubled, with over 100,000 visas revoked since President Trump resumed office, as part of his strict immigration crackdown. The revocations include students and specialized workers, primarily due to encounters with US law enforcement for criminal activity. The administration has also implemented a tougher visa granting policy, including social media vetting and expanded screening, with a focus on deporting individuals who pose a threat to American citizens. Critics have raised concerns about due process and human rights violations, as well as the targeting of visa-holders based on political views, sparking protests and debates across the country.
