The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has revoked more than 300,000 visas during its second term, the State Department announced on Tuesday, October 20. This action is part of a broader federal campaign to tighten immigration laws, with the pace of revocations accelerating in recent weeks. Previously, on August 10, the State Department had reported over 175,000 visa revocations since Trump's term began in January 2025.
State Department spokesperson Tommi Pigott stated on social media platform X that the administration has revoked more visas and done so faster than any previous administration. He emphasized a "zero tolerance" policy towards foreigners overstaying visas, engaging in fraud, or posing a threat to national security. Trump maintains that these strict immigration and deportation measures are crucial for enhancing domestic security.
However, human rights advocates argue that these policies violate due process and free speech rights, creating an unsafe environment for ethnic minorities who fear racial profiling. Specific criticisms have been leveled against visa revocations for pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrating against Israeli strikes in Gaza, and for individuals expressing opinions on social media regarding the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
The administration has also intensified social media screening for immigrants and visa applicants. Rights groups contend that national security concerns are being used to target critics, and isolated incidents of fraud are being exploited for widespread crackdowns on immigrant communities, citing the example of the Somali-American community in Minnesota.
