President Donald Trump’s administration has revoked over 3,00,000 US visas during his second term, the State Department said on Tuesday as the federal government continues its sweeping immigration crackdown.
In addition to attempts to deport foreign protesters, the Trump administration has enforced tightened social media screening of immigrants and visa applicants.
In announcing the latest number on X, State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said the Trump administration “has revoked more visas at a faster pace than any administration in history. Pigott said the administration had “zero tolerance for foreigners here on visas who break the law, commit fraud, or undermine our national security.
Rights advocates say the government has deployed national security reasons to target critics and used isolated cases of fraud to broadly target immigrant communities such as the Somali American community in Minnesota. his administration has also made legal immigration more difficult — for example by imposing expensive fees for certain work visas While Trump campaigned in 2024 on stopping illegal immigration.
