The Trump administration says it has revoked more than 100,000 visas in less than a year, including about 8,000 student visas tied to people who had encounters with law enforcement — more than a 150% increase since 2024.
🗣️ Immigration attorney Lorena Rivas says she’s seeing visas revoked with little explanation, sometimes over minor or dismissed charges. “They’re still innocent until proven guilty,” she said, questioning how those encounters are being used.
