The Trump administration is preparing for the largest mass revocation of visas in the country’s history, which could affect up to 200,000 foreign nationals who have filed applications for asylum, reports Associated Press, citing U.S. State Department documents and U.S. officials.

It is expected that in the coming weeks the State Department may revoke B1 business visas and B2 tourist visas issued from 2016 to 2026 for foreign nationals who previously requested or are currently requesting asylum in the United States. The measure will be implemented jointly with the Department of Homeland Security.
