US cancels over 175,000 visas over crime, security violations

The United States has cancelled over 175,000 visas held by foreign nationals under President Donald Trump's administration, citing criminal offences, breaches of visa conditions, and national security concerns. Most of these cancellations were due to law enforcement encounters involving criminal activity such as assault, driving under the influence, theft, and drug-related offenses.

The US Department of State explained that these revocations are part of their continuous-vetting program, which monitors visa holders to ensure compliance with US immigration requirements and to identify individuals who may pose a threat to the country.
