The Trump administration is preparing to revoke up to 200,000 business and tourist visas for individuals who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum in the United States. This action, coordinated with the Department of Homeland Security, would be the largest mass visa revocation in U.S. history and could face legal challenges. The State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott stated that the goal is to identify and revoke visas of those who claim to be short-term visitors but intend to stay permanently through asylum claims. While not necessarily leading to immediate deportation, affected individuals would lose their status as business or tourism travelers. AI
