From Fox News: The State Department has revoked a record-breaking 85,000 visas as the Trump administration ramps up scrutiny on visitors to the United States.
Of the revoked visas, more than 8,000 were students — more than double the number in 2024, a State Department official told Fox News.
Some of the reasons for the revoked visas include DUIs, assaults, and theft, which together account for almost half of the revocations in the past year.
“These are people who pose a direct threat to our communities’ safety, and we do not want to have them in our country,” the official said.
The State Department announced in a post on X Tuesday afternoon, “85,000 visa revocations since January. President Trump and Secretary Rubio adhere to one simple mandate, and they won’t stop anytime soon⤵️.”
