US Revokes 100,000 Visas, 8,000 Students Affected in Immigration Crackdown

The US State Department has revoked 100,000 visas, impacting 8,000 students, including 2,500 specialized visas, due to various offenses such as visa violations and criminal activities. The move is part of a broader effort to enhance public safety and enforce immigration laws, with a focus on identifying and addressing violations.

The revocations are linked to crimes like assault, driving under the influence, burglary, and alleged support for terrorism. This action aligns with the Trump administration's stricter stance on immigration and international students.

Visa applications were temporarily suspended in 2025, with enhanced vetting procedures for prospective students.
