The State Department announced Tuesday that it has revoked visas from over 100,000 foreign nationals who have been arrested or convicted of crimes in the United States, including domestic violence and sexual assault.
“The United States has no obligation to host criminals who endanger the American people,” the department posted on X. “A U.S. visa is a privilege, not a right. In this Trump Administration’s first year, we revoked over 100k visas from the Worst of the Worst – DUI, child abuse, and assault.”
The department highlighted some of the arrests and convictions, including one foreign national who was convicted of sexually assaulting three women. Another foreign national was arrested multiple times for domestic violence, public intoxication and violating bail. A third was arrested for sexually assaulting a minor.
“[President Trump] and [Secretary of State Marco Rubio] will defend our borders and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws,” the department continued in the thread. “Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while violating our laws and threatening the safety of our citizens will have their visas revoked.”
Federal law enforcement arrested nearly 400,000 criminal illegal immigrants in 2025, according to CBS News.
Of these individuals, almost 60% had a criminal history or faced charges, including 14% who had been convicted of or charged with a violent offense.
“Drug trafficking, Distribution of child pornography, burglary, fraud, DUI, embezzlement, solicitation of a minor, human smuggling are all categorized as ‘nonviolent crimes,'” Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS spokesperson told the outlet.
