The State Department has revoked more than six thousand international student visas for legal violations and overstays. Most revocations involve criminal activity such as assault DUI burglary and alleged support for terrorism. About 4 thousand visas were revoked for violations committed in the US. An additional 2-3 hundred were repealed under specific terrorism-related provisions. The move accompanies a stricter screening regime, including social media checks, amid a broader immigration crackdown. Critics warn of due process concerns and potential harm to higher education. Open Doors records show over 1.1 million international students were enrolled in 2023-24.
