State Department Revokes More Than 175,000 Visas Fact Sheet Office of the Spokesperson August 10, 2026 Under President Trump, the United States Department of State has revoked more than 175,000 visas from foreign nationals who violated the terms of their visas, committed crimes, called for violence against U.S. citizens, defrauded Americans, abused our immigration system, or endangered national security. The majority of these visas were revoked 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. A significant share of visas were revoked for reckless driving, sexual assault, child abuse, fraud and embezzlement, and other crimes. The revocations come as a result of the State Department’s continuous vetting operations, which ensure that visa recipients abide by the terms of their visa and do not endanger Americans. https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2026/08/state-department-revokes-more-than-175000-visas/ #News #US #State #Immigrants #Visas #Illegals #Crime #Terrorism
