The leading categories involved assault, driving under the influence, theft and drug offenses. Officials also cited reckless driving, sexual assault, child abuse, fraud and embezzlement among the reasons visas were canceled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The department highlighted several serious cases, including one foreign national charged with felony rape and sexual battery involving a mentally disabled victim, and another charged with felony kidnapping, human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of a minor. The government did not identify the individuals or say how those criminal cases were ultimately resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new tally also includes more than 100 visas revoked by a U.S. embassy in North Africa from parents accused of using so-called birth tourism to obtain American citizenship for children born in the United States, according to the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/us-state-department-has-yanked-more-than-175k-visas-under-trump-administration-so-far\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox News, which first reported the new figure<\/a>, said the effort is being carried out under Secretary of State Marco Rubio as part of the administration\u2019s broader \u201cAmerica First\u201d approach to immigration and public safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Revocations climbed by at least 75,000 in seven months<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest number marks a sharp increase from the more than 100,000 revocations the department reported in January. At that point, the total included roughly 8,000 student visas and 2,500 specialized visas involving people who had encounters with U.S. law enforcement, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.al-monitor.com\/originals\/2026\/01\/trump-administration-has-revoked-over-100000-visas-state-department-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reuters reporting published by Al-Monitor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means the administration says it revoked at least 75,000 additional visas in roughly seven months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January, State Department deputy spokesperson Tommy Pigott said the first 100,000 revocations represented a 150% increase over 2024. He attributed the leading causes at that stage to visa overstays, DUI offenses, assault and theft. Pigott also said the department had created a Continuous Vetting Center to flag visa holders who may no longer qualify to remain in good standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday\u2019s announcement did not provide a new breakdown by visa category or nationality. It also did not specify how many cases involved arrests or charges rather than convictions\u2014a distinction that earlier reporting raised when the administration disclosed thousands of canceled student visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump: Foreign visitors who cause trouble are not welcome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has consistently cast tougher visa screening as a public-safety and national-security measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want to have great students here. We just don\u2019t want students that are causing trouble,\u201d Trump said in 2025 remarks later included in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/fact-sheets\/2025\/06\/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-restricts-foreign-student-visas-at-harvard-university\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">White House fact sheet on foreign student visas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/12\/restricting-and-limiting-the-entry-of-foreign-nationals-to-protect-the-security-of-the-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">December 2025 proclamation<\/a>, Trump wrote that the United States must use \u201cextreme vigilance\u201d during visa and immigration screening to stop foreign nationals who intend to harm Americans or threaten the country\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The push traces back to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/01\/protecting-the-united-states-from-foreign-terrorists-and-othernational-security-and-public-safety-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jan. 20, 2025 executive order<\/a> directing federal agencies to strengthen screening for people seeking admission to the United States and to continue vetting certain foreign nationals already in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The State Department\u2019s own guidance notes that a visa allows a foreign citizen to travel to a U.S. port of entry and request admission; it does not guarantee entry. Revoking one therefore removes the person\u2019s ability to use that visa for future travel, although any separate question involving immigration status or removal from the country can require additional government action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the administration now claiming more than 175,000 revocations, Monday\u2019s announcement makes clear that Trump and Rubio intend to keep visa enforcement at the center of the president\u2019s second-term immigration agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class= \"house-ad\"><center><p class= \"sponsored\">Sponsored<\/p><strong><span style=\" color:#ff0004\" class=\" has-inline-color has-text-align-center\"><a href= \"https:\/\/secure.winred.com\/nrsc\/2026-voter-verification-missed-e-db\/?utm_term=%5Btrackingcode%5D&#038;source_code=%5Btrackingcode%5D&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_source=db_db&#038;utm_campaign=voterverificationtakeover_nrsc_nrsc&#038;utm_content=fundraising&#038;amtposition=4&#038;amt4=100&#038;recurring=true&#038;ex_tid=20260629_GU-OR.117371_t1941638-575\">Take the Voter Verification Questionnaire before the deadline and make sure your records are up to date!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/center><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON \u2014 The State Department has revoked more than 175,000 U.S. visas since President Donald Trump returned to office, according to a new government tally that underscores the rapid expansion of his administration\u2019s immigration-enforcement campaign.
