The Trump administration is poised to announce a significant policy change, potentially revoking the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreign nationals who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum in the United States. This move, if executed, would set a record for the largest single mass visa revocation in U.S. history, although it may face legal challenges. The State Department is expected to disclose the revocation of B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026, provided their holders have sought or are currently seeking asylum, according to internal documents and two unnamed U.S. officials. This action is set to be coordinated with the Department of Homeland Security. The revocations would not necessarily lead to immediate deportation, but those with pending asylum cases would be recategorized and lose their status as business or tourism travelers. Since President Trump's second term began, his administration has progressively tightened visa restrictions, demanding more information on social media histories, requiring expensive bonds for processing visas, and even banning the issuance of visas to certain nationalities. The proposed revocations are part of an effort to combat what Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau calls "bogus asylum claims" and to ensure that asylum is not misused as a means to bypass immigration law. The administration has also targeted so-called birth tourism, alleging it allows foreign pregnant women to come to the United States to give birth and secure birthright citizenship for their children. Despite Trump's attempts to end birthright citizenship, these efforts have been consistently rejected by courts, including the Supreme Court. The State Department documents suggest that screening of current B1 and B2 visa holders commenced after the department received information about asylum requests from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
