TL;DR Summary

The U.S. State Department says it has revoked more than 175,000 visas since President Donald Trump took office, including travel documents from foreigners charged with crimes and those who celebrated the killing of Charlie Kirk. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly made determinations to revoke visas for Cuban and Iranian nationals with ties to their governments. Officials say the moves defend U.S. foreign policy interests and national security, with revocations rising from an estimated 8,000 per month to about 10,000 per month after January’s total of 100,000.
