US plans visa crackdown on foreigners who sought asylum
- The Trump administration plans to revoke up to 2 lakh B1 and B2 visas held by foreigners who have sought US asylum.
- The proposed action covers business and tourist visas issued from 2016 to 2026 to people who later applied for asylum.
- State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said it is working with DHS, but the final number of revocations remains uncertain.
- Losing a B1 or B2 visa would not mean immediate deportation; people with pending asylum cases can continue pursuing them.
