President Donald Trump’s administration has revoked over 300,000 US visas during his second term, the State Department said on Tuesday as the federal government continues its sweeping immigration crackdown.
The number showed an acceleration in the pace of visa revocations in recent weeks.
In an update issued on August 10, the State Department had put the number of visa revocations since Trump’s current term began in January 2025 at over 175,000.

In announcing the latest number on X, State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said the Trump administration “has revoked more visas at a faster pace than any administration in history.”
Pigott said the administration had “zero tolerance for foreigners here on visas who break the law, commit fraud, or undermine our national security.”
