The Trump administration has revoked around 80,000 non-immigrant visas since taking office on January 20, according to a senior State Department official. The revocations stem from a range of offences, including driving under the influence, assault, and theft, as part of a wider immigration crackdown. About 16,000 visas were canceled for DUI offences, 12,000 for assault, and 8,000 for theft, nearly half of all revocations this year.
Officials say the administration has also tightened its visa policies, adding expanded social media screening and more rigorous background checks. Over 6,000 student visas have been revoked for overstaying or breaking US laws, with a few linked to suspected terrorism support.

In recent months, the State Department has also revoked visas of individuals who made online comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that hundreds, possibly thousands, of visas were canceled for those engaged in activities opposing US foreign policy.
The administration has warned that even student visa or green card holders could face deportation for supporting Palestinians or criticizing Israel’s Gaza actions, describing such behavior as a threat to US interests and labeling it “pro-Hamas.”
