The U.S. State Department, under the Trump administration, has revoked more than 6,000 international student visas in 2025. The revocations were due to a range of violations including overstaying visa terms, assault, burglary, driving under the influence (DUI), and a small minority for alleged support of terrorism. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that the crackdown also targets anti-Israel activism amid the Gaza conflict and other actions deemed hostile to U.S. interests. This enforcement action represents one of the most extensive immigration crackdowns on foreign students in recent years, reflecting the administration's intensified focus on national security and legal compliance among international students studying in the United States.
