Washington. The U.S. State Department announced on Monday that it revoked more than 100,000 visas since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, citing enforcement of immigration laws and public-safety priorities. Officials said revocations included about 8,000 student visas and 2,500 specialized work visas, and rose roughly 150% compared with 2024. The department identified overstays, driving under the influence, assault and theft as leading causes, and said it has tightened social-media screening and paused some student visa interviews. The measures aim to remove foreign nationals with criminal encounters and enforce entry standards. Based on 6 articles reviewed and research.
