The Trump administration announced plans to revoke non-immigrant visas held by foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum in the United States. The move specifically targets B1 and B2 business and tourism visas issued between 2016 and 2026.
The State Department is expected to announce the revocation, which could affect up to 200,000 people. If realized, this would amount to the largest single mass revocation of visas in American history.
Despite the administration's preparations, the move is likely to face legal challenges.
