The US State Department disclosed on Monday that it had revoked more than 175,000 visas during Donald Trump's second term, citing reasons such as visa violations, criminal activity, threats to national security, and fraud. The majority of the revocations were due to law enforcement encounters for various crimes, including assault, DUI, theft, drug crimes, reckless driving, sexual assault, child abuse, fraud, and embezzlement. Secretary of State Marco Rubio identified numerous foreign nationals deemed deportable on foreign policy grounds, including a Cuban communist regime associate, Iranian regime sympathizers, a Laotian sex offender pardoned by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and a Kuwaiti individual who advocated for violence against the President and considered Americans as enemies. Notable revocations include those charged with felony rape, kidnapping, human trafficking, sexual exploitation of minors, disorderly conduct, drunk driving, domestic violence, and Medicaid fraud. The administration aims to tighten immigration rules for foreign talent, replacing the current 'duration of status' system for international students with fixed periods of stay, while limiting the post-study grace period and restricting students' ability to change programs or fields of study. The changes could make studying, working, and building a long-term life in America more challenging for international students and H-1B workers, particularly Indians who comprise the largest group of international students and a significant share of H-1B workers in the US.
