> The Trump administration plans to revoke B-1 and B-2 visas issued from 2016 to 2026 to foreigners who have sought or are seeking asylum in the United States. State Department documents and officials estimate that up to 200,000 people could be affected, while experts warn the move may discourage many others from filing asylum claims after entering the country.
