Trump administration: more than 300,000 visas have been revoked during the second presidential term

The U.S. State Department said the administration of President Donald Trump has canceled more than 300,000 visas since the start of his second term, a figure the department said reflects an accelerated enforcement of the administration’s immigration policies. The department’s previous report on August 10 had put cancellations since January 2025 at more than 175,000. Tommy Pigott, a State Department spokesperson, said the Trump administration has revoked visas at a faster pace than prior administrations and will not be lenient toward visa holders who break the law, commit fraud, or threaten national security. The report said controversial cancellations included visas of foreign protesters supporting Palestine and some foreign nationals whose social‑media comments about the death of Charlie Kirk prompted revocation.
