US plans to revoke tourism and business visas of up to 200,000 foreigners, AP reports
- The Trump administration is preparing to revoke B1 and B2 business and tourism visas for up to 200,000 foreigners, a move that would represent the largest single mass visa revocation in U.S. history.
- On Monday, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau called asylum a "loophole to circumvent immigration law," citing instances of foreigners using tourist visas to enter before applying for asylum.
- The State Department is coordinating with the Department of Homeland Security to identify affected visa holders, State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said. Revocations would not necessarily trigger immediate deportation, though pending asylum applicants would lose nonimmigrant status.
- Legal challenges are expected given the unprecedented scale; the State Department previously revoked about 175,000 visas over 18 months for criminal convictions and public opposition to U.S. policies in the Middle East.
- Since President Donald Trump took office for his second term last year, his administration has steadily increased visa restrictions, including demanding social media histories, requiring expensive bonds, and banning visas for citizens of certain countries.
