Washington, October 21, 2026. The administration of US President Donald Trump has revoked more than 300,000 American visas during his second term, according to data released by the State Department. Federal authorities are continuing a massive campaign to tighten immigration enforcement, and the pace of visa cancellations has reportedly accelerated significantly in recent weeks.

### From 175,000 to 300,000

According to data cited on August 10, more than 175,000 visas had been revoked during Trump's second term. The new figures, exceeding 300,000, indicate that at least another 125,000 entry permits were canceled in the subsequent weeks. The State Department emphasizes that the rate of revocation has increased and the campaign is gaining momentum.

### «Faster than any other administration»

Announcing the latest figures, US State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott stated that the Trump administration «has revoked more visas and done so faster than any other administration in history.» He added that authorities «have zero tolerance for foreign nationals residing in the country on visas who break the law, commit fraud, or undermine national security.»

### Controversial cases

Among the episodes specifically highlighted by human rights activists are the revocation of visas for pro-Palestinian foreign protesters who opposed Israeli strikes on Gaza, as well as the cancellation of visas for foreigners over their social media posts regarding the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Authorities view these actions as part of the fight against lawbreaking and national security threats.

### Social media as a filter

In addition to efforts to deport foreign protesters, the Trump administration has tightened social media vetting for immigrants and visa applicants. Analyzing candidates' posts has become one of the screening tools, expanding the pool of individuals whose visas can be revoked retroactively.

### Broader context

Notably, the White House website recently launched an Arcade section featuring retro games reflecting key themes of the president's agenda, including migration-related issues. Concurrently, Trump issued sharp criticism of Democrats, stating that if they win, the country could face unrest similar to what is happening in France.
