USA: US administration revokes more than 300,000 visas during Trump's second term

The US government, under President Donald Trump, has revoked over 300,000 visas as part of its crackdown on immigration. The State Department reported this on Tuesday, citing an acceleration of the process, with over 175,000 visas revoked as of January 2025. The administration claims it has revoked more visas faster than any previous government, citing zero tolerance for foreigners who break the law or undermine national security.

The government also unveiled a $25 million program to encourage citizens to report suspected fraud with federal programs and tax dollars, offering rewards of up to $30,000 for tips leading to convictions.
