White House Announces Cancellation of Over 300,000 US Visas for Foreigners During Trump's Second Term - Sarmad

Tommy Pigott, spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, said that since the beginning of Donald Trump’s second presidential term in 2025, his ministry has canceled more than 300,000 visas for foreign nationals.

Pigott wrote on the social media platform X: “By canceling more than 300,000 visas already, the Trump administration is revoking visas in large numbers and at a faster pace than any other administration in history.”

Pigott noted that Washington “will not tolerate foreigners violating laws, committing fraud, or undermining national security.”

He added: “We have taken and will continue to take all necessary measures to ensure the security of our borders and our country.”

Since being inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States in January 2025, Trump has repeatedly stated that approximately 25 million people entered the country illegally before he took office. The American leader has also expressed support for tightening immigration policies on multiple occasions.

The U.S. administration has implemented numerous measures, including strengthening strict surveillance on the southern border in coordination with the National Guard to halt illegal immigration flows. It has also issued directives to expedite the deportation of violators and to freeze asylum applications for certain categories pending review. Through these steps, the administration seeks to fulfill its campaign promises regarding the enforcement of the rule of law and the complete securing of the borders.
