US revokes 250k+ visas in record sweep; criminal, fraud, status misuse cited

The Trump administration has revoked over 250,000 visas in a record-time enforcement push, targeting foreigners with criminal records, fraud, or misuse of temporary residence status. The scale and speed mark a significant escalation in immigration controls, though the breakdown by nationality and visa class remains unclear. This signals a harder US immigration posture with potential diplomatic and economic ripple effects.
