Government Cancelling Visas Over Political Speech, Not Just Crime

The government cancelled over 175,000 visas since January 2025 — four times faster than under Biden. A visa is permission to enter or stay in the U.S. Most cancellations cited crime, but officials won't share the breakdown. Some targeted speech: a Tufts student lost hers after writing an op-ed criticizing her school's stance on Gaza. Where law enforcement ends and political screening begins is unclear.
