The Trump administration has been actively revoking visas 🪪, particularly targeting student visas and visa holders from countries subject to new travel restrictions [1][2][3][4][5].
Since January 2025, over 6,000 student visas have been revoked mainly due to allegations of law-breaking (e.g., assault, DUI, burglary) and support for terrorism, with a smaller number due to overstays[6][1][3][7][8][9][10].
| Visa Type | Estimated Revoked (2025) | Common Reasons | Recent Change? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Student (F, M, J) | >6,000[7][3] | Law violations, activism | Yes—revocations quadrupled[2][3][9][8] |
| Tourist (B-1/B-2) | Included (esp. banned countries)[11][5] | Travel ban, security | Yes—mass bans expanded[11][5] |
| Immigrant/family | Thousands (partial/full bans)[4][5] | Country-based restriction | Yes—new bans June 2025[4][5] |
Visa revocations under Trump have become far more frequent and far-reaching, especially for students and nationals of restricted countries, marking a sharp departure from previous norms[2][1][4][5].
