> The Trump administration says it has revoked more than 300,000 visas issued to foreign nationals, at a faster rate than any previous administration. A State Department spokesperson said the targeted holders had allegedly broken the law, committed fraud or posed national security threats. The administration has tightened visa screening, including social media checks, which rights advocates say threaten free speech and amount to surveillance and singling out immigrants.
