Trump administration plans to revoke visas of foreigners seeking asylum
Summary
The Trump administration plans to revoke the non-immigrant visas of foreigners who applied for or are seeking asylum in the United States, in a move that could affect up to 200,000 people. The crackdown is part of a broader immigration push that rights groups say has violated due process and free speech rights.
Key Points

- The Associated Press reported the move could affect up to 200,000 people and would be the largest mass visa revocation in US history if carried out.

- Rights groups say the policy has raised due process, free speech, and racial profiling concerns.
