The US State Department said on Monday it has revoked more than 1.75 lakh visas from foreign nationals under President Donald Trump. Most revocations followed law enforcement encounters, with assault, driving under the influence, theft, and drug crimes as leading causes. Cases include felony rape, kidnapping, human trafficking, and child sexual abuse material.


The narrative that this is a sweeping crackdown on visa holders misses context. Many revocations target serious crimes like assault and child abuse. But civil liberties groups rightly flag concerns over social media vetting and lack of due process. The real test will be whether the State Department can show that these revocations follow fair procedures, or if they become a tool for political targeting.
