PROMISES KEPT: State Department yanks tens of thousands of visas

2

FROM FOX NEWS: The Trump administration said it has rescinded tens of thousands of nonimmigrant visas since January, pointing to criminal activity as the primary reason.

The State Department announced Thursday that 80,000 visas have been revoked this year, noting this is more than twice the number revoked last year.

More than 8,000 student visas were among those affected.

The top reasons for these revocations were assault, theft and driving under the influence, according to the State Department. These three crimes accounted for nearly half of the revoked visas this year.


According to the agency, it pulled more than 16,000 visas for DUIs, more than 12,000 for assault, and more than 8,000 for theft.

“Promises made, promises kept,” the State Department wrote on X, adding that President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio “will always put the safety and interests of the American people first.”
