State Department Reports Over 300,000 US Visas Revoked Under Trump's Second Term

More than 300,000 US visas have been revoked since Donald Trump began his second presidential term in January 2025, the State Department confirmed on Tuesday. The figure marks a sharp acceleration from the department's August 10 update, which placed revocations at over 175,000. Officials attribute the surge to the federal government's ongoing immigration crackdown, with the pace of cancellations intensifying in recent weeks. Trump has framed the crackdown and his accompanying deportation drive as measures to strengthen domestic security. The State Department disclosed the cumulative total as part of its continuing enforcement effort.
