The Trump administration has revoked about 80,000 non-immigrant visas since taking office on January 20, according to a senior State Department official cited by Reuters . This is part of a sweeping immigration crackdown that began soon after President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The revocations covered a wide range of offences, including driving under the influence, assault and theft. Around 16,000 visas were revoked over DUI cases, 12,000 for assault, and 8,000 for theft, reported Reuters . “These three crimes accounted for almost half of revocations this year,” the official said.
