US Takes Action on 55 Million Visas to Enforce Immigration Rules
The US is conducting a comprehensive review of over 55 million visas as part of its crackdown on visa holders who may have violated their entry regulations.
The United States is actively assessing the status of over 55 million visa holders to determine compliance with immigration laws and conditions. Under a new directive from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the State Department is implementing continuous vetting of individuals with US visas. This process will identify issues such as overstays, criminal involvement, threats to public safety, and connections to terrorism—any violations could lead to visa revocation. Additionally, prospective visitors and students will face social media scrutiny to detect anti-American sentiments. Rubio emphasized the need to protect American interests and uphold national security as a priority. The initiative follows a series of strict immigration policies introduced by the Trump administration, which includes the suspension of certain worker visas and increased scrutiny on foreign students involved in political protests.
