[i]US Revokes Over 100,000 Visas in 2025 as Trump Administration Tightens Immigration Controls

The United States has revoked more than 100,000 visas since President Donald Trump assumed office in January 2025, marking the highest number of visa cancellations recorded in a single year, according to the US State Department.

Officials disclosed that the revocations include approximately 8,000 student visas and about 2,500 specialised visa categories, with enforcement actions largely targeting foreign nationals involved in criminal offences.

State Department Deputy Spokesperson, Tommy Pigott, said the primary reasons for the cancellations were visa overstays, driving under the influence, assault, theft, and other criminal encounters.

Pigott noted that the figure represents a 150 percent increase compared to visa revocations recorded in 2024, describing the surge as part of a broader effort to strengthen immigration enforcement and public safety.

As part of the new enforcement framework, the State Department has established a Continuous Vetting Center designed to monitor foreign nationals residing in the United States.

According to Pigott, the initiative aims to ensure that all visa holders comply with US laws, while enabling authorities to swiftly revoke visas issued to individuals deemed a threat to public safety or national security.

In November 2025, the department had earlier announced that roughly 80,000 non-immigrant visas had been cancelled since President Trump’s inauguration on January 20, with offences ranging from traffic-related violations to violent crimes.

Additionally, US diplomats stationed abroad have been instructed to apply heightened scrutiny to visa applicants perceived to be hostile to the United States or with records of political activism that could raise security concerns.

The Trump administration has consistently argued that the measures are necessary to protect American citizens and uphold the integrity of the country’s immigration system.

God bless President Donald Trump

Please those APC data boys in America should have theur visas revoked and sent back to Nigeria to enjoy their baba government

This is commendable. Everyone should go back and demand good governance from their respective leaders. However, Nigerian government need to do much to rebrand our image and diplomatic ties and agreement with countries like the US.

Yarimo was one of them, he wanted to escape through the backdoor.
Suffering and smiling.

His country, his rules. As long as Americans are okay with it.

God Bless President D.J. Trump now and always. Promises made, Promises kept.

The problem with you Nigerians is that you talk about demanding good governance, but you don't want to do what is neccessary to have good governance.

The OP is being clever by half, he didn’t state that all the 100,000 applications were from Muslims, no Christian will ever be denied entry into the United States by the number one defender of Christianity, make u sef reason am, is that possible?

Same way you guys in the US always analyze Nigeria issues as if you live in Nigeria.

This is a bad time for anyone to travel to the USA because his or her visa will not be approved

He was elected because he promised to rlease the Epstein files; he is not interested in releasing them
He wasn't elected to build Ball rooms.
He wasn't elected to pardon criminals
