US Plans Historic Mass Visa Revocation Targeting Asylum Seekers

The Trump administration is set to enact the largest mass visa revocation in U.S. history, affecting up to 200,000 asylum seekers. Officials from the State Department are preparing to cancel tourist and business visas, particularly targeting those who have recently claimed asylum. This unprecedented move could leave many individuals, including around 70,000 Indians, in a precarious situation as thousands find themselves potentially facing losses of their legally-obtained visas. Experts voice concerns over the economic impact in regions like Long Island, while local attorneys indicate that mass visa revocation may not increase deportation risks significantly. The plan raises significant immigration alerts as ICE continues to detain asylum seekers.
