The United States is preparing to revoke visas for asylum seekers

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to revoke the business and tourist visas of up to 200,000 foreign nationals who have either requested asylum or currently have pending asylum petitions within the United States.

If finalized and carried out, this prospective action by the administration would constitute the largest visa cancellation of its kind directed at individuals seeking asylum or holding pending petitions in the country.
