The Trump administration said on Monday it is planning to revoke business and tourism visas of 200,000 foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum in the United States.
Unless challenges or revised, the move would mark the largest single mass revocation of visas in US history.
“We are coordinating with DHS to identify and revoke the nonimmigrant visas of foreigners who have come to the United States claiming to be short-term visitors, but then file for asylum to stay here permanently,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said.
