WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has revoked more than 300,000 visas since the 47th president took office last year, The Post has learned.
A State Department official said that the revocations were done as a consequence for criminal activity, threats to public safety or immigration violations such as fraud or misrepresentation.
At least 4,000 visas were yanked from foreign nationals “who engage in or facilitated birth tourism,” the official noted.
“With over 300,000 revocations, the Trump administration has revoked more visas at a faster pace than any administration in history,” added State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott.
“Let the message be clear: we have zero tolerance for foreigners here on visas who break the law, commit fraud, or undermine our national security. We are taking, and will continue to take, action to keep our borders, and our nation, secure.”
The nationalities of those who had their visa revoked was not immediately clear.
Last month, the department had confirmed as many as 250,000 revocations had taken place since January 2025.
The pace of revocations has accelerated so far in 2026 after just 23,000 cases were vetted by the Bureau of Consular Affairs last year.
A quarter of visas pulled in 2025 were for assaults or related crimes, while another 22% were yanked for driving under the influence, 7% for theft and 7% for substance abuse or distribution.
