The US State Department has canceled over 6,000 international student visas, mostly for legal violations such as assault, DUI, burglary, and alleged support for terrorism. About 4,000 were revoked for breaking the law, with 200–300 linked to terrorism under US law, according to BBC.

Part of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, the move follows tighter visa screening, including social media checks. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said revocations will continue for students deemed disruptive, while Democrats criticized the policy as undermining due process. The US hosts over 1.1m international students, BBC reported.
