> The State Department says the Trump administration is preparing to revoke business and tourist visas held by foreigners who applied for or are seeking asylum after entering the United States. The number is not confirmed, but AP cites documents and officials who estimate up to 200,000 people could be affected. Revocation would not necessarily mean immediate deportation.
