Trump Administration Plans Largest Mass Visa Revocation in US History

On August 24, 2026, the Trump administration announced plans to revoke non-immigrant visas of foreigners who have applied for or are seeking asylum. The AP, citing State Department documents and two US officials, estimates up to 200,000 B1 and B2 visa holders could be affected — the largest single mass visa revocation in US history. The State Department did not confirm the number.
