Donald Trump’s current term has been vastly different for immigrants, whether undocumented illegals or legal folks. His administration has taken a hard line, especially against those involved in criminal activity.
ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has been actively identifying and detaining individuals accused of crimes, removing them from communities in the name of public safety.
During his first year, the Trump administration also created anxiety among immigrants on temporary visas such as H1B and F1. Regulations have tightened significantly, with increased scrutiny and enforcement. Supporters of Trump have been pushing the administration to take stronger action on immigration, adding extreme pressure.
The Department of State officially stated: “In this Trump Administration’s first year, we revoked over 100K visas from the worst of the worst, including those involved in DUI, child abuse, and assault.”
This marks one of the highest visa revocation counts in recent U.S. immigration history. The momentum appears to be continuing, and if current trends hold, the number may go beyond 100K.
