Curated summary

The US State Department said it has revoked more than 175,000 visas from foreign nationals under President Donald Trump as part of a wide immigration crackdown since he returned to the White House last year. The department said most revocations followed law-enforcement encounters tied to crime, visa violations, fraud, violence threats, and national security risks, citing offenses including assault, drunk driving, theft, and drug offenses. It also cited cases involving felony rape and sexual battery, kidnapping and human trafficking, child sexual abuse material charges, and more than 100 visas revoked at a US embassy in North Africa over alleged birth tourism.
