The United States Department of State is reviewing records of more than 55 million foreigners who hold valid US visas for potential revocation or deportable violations of immigration rules. All US visa holders are subject to continuous vetting for indications of ineligibility. Visas flagged for ineligibility will be revoked and visa holders in the United States may be subject to deportation. Vetting searches for visa overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, terrorist activity, and support for terrorist organizations, using law enforcement, immigration records, and any other information that arises after issuance. The administration has directed a large-scale crackdown on migration, including workplace raids, courthouse arrests, and efforts to narrow humanitarian parole and Temporary Protected Status.
The United States Department of State has said that it's reviewing the records of more than 55 million foreigners who hold valid US visas for potential revocation or deportable violations of immigration rules. In a written answer to a question posed by The Associated Press, the department said on Thursday that all US visa holders are subject to continuous vetting with an eye towards any indication that they could be ineligible for the document.
Should such information be found, the visa will be revoked and, if the visa holder is in the US, he or she would be subject to deportation. The department said it was looking for indicators of ineligibility including visa overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity, or providing support to a terrorist organization.
