Trump Administration Revokes Over 300,000 Visas in 2025

The administration of United States President Donald Trump has revoked more than 300,000 visas since he began his second term in January 2025, as disclosed by State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott. He stated that this figure represents the fastest pace of visa revocations in U.S. history.

The administration's actions are part of a broader immigration crackdown, maintaining a "zero tolerance" policy for foreigners on visas who break the law or commit fraud. The latest figure shows a significant increase from over 175,000 visa revocations reported on August 10.

Trump's immigration policies have faced criticism from rights advocates, particularly regarding visa revocations of foreign nationals involved in pro-Palestinian protests and those commenting on social media about conservative commentator Charlie Kirk's assassination. Additionally, the administration has implemented tighter social media screening measures for immigrants and visa applicants.

Critics argue that these actions undermine civil liberties and target immigrant communities, including Somali Americans in Minnesota.
