The Trump administration has revoked more than 175,000 visas from foreign nationals since the president took office, according to the State Department.
That’s quadruple the pace of the final year of the Biden administration, an analysis by The Guardian found.
The majority of the revocations were “due to law enforcement encounters for a range of criminal activity, with assault, driving under the influence, theft, and drug crimes being the leading causes,” the State Department said in a fact sheet on Tuesday.
