US Revokes 80,000 Visas Including Nigerians in Immigration Crackdown
The US State Department has revoked more than 80,000 visas, including those of Nigerians, as part of a significant immigration crackdown under President Trump's administration. The revocations were based on various offenses such as assault, theft, driving under the influence, and terror-related concerns.
The crackdown involved extensive background checks on applicants' social media history and online behavior. Notable figures like Charlie Kirk and Marco Rubio have raised concerns about the hostile foreign policy implications of the visa revocations.
The move coincides with increased deportation efforts and stricter enforcement of overstayed visas.
