Immigration authorities will be reviewing the visas of 55 million holders to decide if they can deport those who committed any offenses deemed worthy of deportation, according to the U.S. State Department.
“We review all available information as part of our vetting, including law enforcement or immigration records or any other information that comes to light after visa issuance indicating a potential ineligibility,” the department added, according to The Daily Wire.
The State Department said that an immigrant with a visa who is believed ineligible due to violations such as “indicators of overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity, or providing support to a terrorist organization,” will be deported.
“Every single student visa revoked under the Trump Administration has happened because the individual has either broken the law or expressed support for terrorism while in the United States,” the State Department official account posted on Facebook.

“The State Department issued close to 11 million temporary visas, which do not include permanent residency or ‘green cards,’ during the 2024 fiscal year,” The Washington Post reported. “ICE is on track to deport over 400,000 illegal immigrants by the end of President Trump’s first year in office,” The New York Post added.
Still, on Thursday, a Biden-appointed federal judge ruled in favor of immigrants from Togo, Somalia, Afghanistan, Burma and Iran, saying that the State Department could not use President Donald Trump’s travel ban to reject visas to foreigners. Nevertheless, the ruling still allowed immigration authorities to negate them at a port of entry and airline officials to refuse to permit them on a plane.
According to The Wire, a serious side-effect of the Trump administration’s immigration policies has been a disconcerting nosedive when it comes to the foreign-born population in the United States. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, this is the most noteworthy decrease ever in a same year.
One major impact of the current Trump administration’s policies on illegal immigration has been a startling plunge in the foreign-born population in the U.S., and it’s the most significant six-month decline ever in the same year, according to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).
According to The Wire, the foreign-born population fell an astounding 2.2 million from January to July, CIS reported, calculating the number of illegal immigrants fell by 1.6 million in the same period. CIS based its estimates on an analysis of raw data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) Current Population Survey (CPS).
CIS also assessed the total illegal immigrant population at 14.2 million in July based on the January 2025 CPS. CIS defined illegal immigrants as people with “pending defensive asylum applications, those with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and parolees.”
