How Many Visas Trump Revoked In 1 Year?

United States, president, Donald Trump has the reputation of being one of the most problematic presidents in United States history. But he is showing no sign of slowing down just yet, and on top of that, he has started to revoke visas at an aggravated base.

In the first year of his return to office, Donald Trump has overseen a sharp rise in visa cancellations in the United States. According to officials, the United States Department of State revoked more than 1 lakh visas during 2025. These cancellations covered different categories including tourist, student, business, and work visas.

Reports suggest that around 8000 student visas and nearly 2500 specialized work visas were withdrawn. Many of these actions were linked to violations such as drunk driving, assault, theft, and other legal issues.

Authorities stated that visa holders must follow American laws, and any serious violation can lead to immediate cancellation. The current administration has taken a strict stand on immigration enforcement. Officials have repeatedly said that a visa is a privilege and not a guaranteed right. There is also increased scrutiny in background checks and monitoring of applicants.

This figure is said to be more than double the number of visa cancellations recorded during the final year of former President Joe Biden. The sharp increase reflects a tougher immigration approach under Trump’s leadership, signaling tighter control over who is allowed to enter and remain in the country.
