Overview
- The State Department says roughly 80,000 nonimmigrant visas have been canceled since Jan. 20, 2025.
- About 16,000 were tied to DUIs, around 12,000 to assault, and roughly 8,000 to theft, accounting for nearly half of the total.
- Approximately 8,000 student visas were revoked, updating an August figure of more than 6,000.
- At least six visas were pulled over social media comments about activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination as directives expanded online vetting and scrutiny of political activism.
- Officials say the measures protect public safety and enforce visa rules, and the revocation rate is more than double last year’s tally.
