US Initiates Comprehensive Review of 55 Million Visa Holders for Compliance
The US administration is undertaking a thorough examination of visa holders to ensure adherence to immigration laws and public safety protocols.
The US government has announced an extensive review of over 55 million visa holders in a bid to confirm compliance with immigration regulations. Under the initiative dubbed "continuous vetting," the State Department will scrutinize records for any breaches such as overstays or criminal activities. Reports indicate that any evidence of threats, involvement in terrorism, or support of terrorist activities will result in visa revocation. This decision aligns with President Trump’s strict immigration policies, which include widespread visa revocations and heightened scrutiny for foreign visitors. New procedures will also involve social media assessments for potential hostility towards the U.S. and its values. Additionally, the issuance of worker visas for foreign truck drivers has been paused, emphasizing safety concerns related to foreign drivers on American roads. Furthermore, the examination follows a series of controversies involving foreign students participating in protests tied to international issues. With ongoing measures, the administration seeks to enhance national security while upholding stringent immigration standards.
