President Donald Trump’s State Department has revoked more than 175,000 visas of foreign nationals accused of crimes like fraud, theft, and drunk driving among others, since the start of last year.
This week, State Department officials said most of the foreign nationals who have had their visas revoked thus far are accused of assault, drunk driving, theft, drug crimes, as well as fraud, immigration violations, and endangering national security.
In addition, officials said a large portion of the visas revoked were for child abuse, sexual assault, embezzlement, and reckless driving.

For example, one foreign national had his visas revoked after having been charged with rape and sexual battery of a victim who is mentally disabled. Likewise, a foreign national had their visa revoked after being charged with felony kidnapping, human trafficking, and sexual exploitation of a minor.
Other examples of visa revocations include:
A foreign national arrested for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest with violence, drunk driving, and domestic violence.
A U.S. embassy in North Africa revoked over 100 visas for “birth tourist” parents who came to the United States primarily to give birth so their children would get U.S. citizenship.

A foreign national charged with over a dozen counts of possessing child sexual abuse material.

A foreign national who claimed to operate a legitimate business helping vulnerable patients access healthcare helped orchestrate a massive Medicaid scam – billing for over $5 million of fake services.
