The Digest:

The United States has revoked over 100,000 visas since President Donald Trump’s return to office in 2025, more than double the number revoked under President Biden in 2024.

Key Points:
  • The US revoked over 100,000 visas since Trump’s inauguration in January 2025.
  • The number is two and a half times higher than revocations in 2024 under Biden.
  • 8,000 of the revoked visas belonged to students, some over pro-Palestine protests.
  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio cited a McCarthy-era law to block entry for policy dissenters.
  • The administration has also tightened visa vetting, including social media screening.
  • Over 605,000 people have been deported under Trump’s current term.
  • The State Department says “thousands” of visas were revoked due to criminal offenses like assault and DUI.
Behind these numbers are lives disrupted, dreams deferred, and families separated, a stark reminder of how quickly immigration policy can shift with political winds. In this global storm, borders are not just lines on maps, but lines drawn through human stories.
