On Monday, August 10, 2026, the U.S. State Department announced that it has revoked more than 175,000 visas during President Donald Trump's administration so far, less than two years into his second term.

According to the department, these visa revocations targeted foreign nationals who violated visa terms, committed crimes, called for violence against U.S. citizens, defrauded Americans, abused the immigration system, or endangered national security. The majority of revocations were due to law enforcement encounters involving criminal activities such as assault, driving under the influence, theft, and drug offenses. Other cited reasons included reckless driving, sexual assault, child abuse, fraud, and embezzlement.

The department also noted that a U.S. embassy in North Africa revoked over 100 visas for "birth tourist" parents who traveled primarily to the United States to give birth and secure citizenship for their children.

Notable cases include foreign nationals charged with felony kidnapping, human trafficking, sexual exploitation of a minor, felony rape, and sexual battery, including offenses against mentally disabled victims.

President Trump has been accompanied by Secretary of State Marco Rubio in various meetings, including a Cabinet meeting at Camp David on July 31, 2026, and an American mining industry roundtable at the State Department in Washington, D.C., in early August.
