In a significant enforcement action, the US State Department has revoked more than 6,000 student visas as part of a broader crackdown on immigration and security. This decision is attributed to various law violations, including overstays and connections to criminal activities or terrorism support. A large portion of the visa cancellations, estimated at about 4,000, were linked to criminal offenses. The administration, led by President Donald Trump and influenced by officials like Marco Rubio, has implemented stricter vetting processes, impacting many international students studying in the United States.
