> The State Department is expected to announce within weeks that it will revoke up to 200,000 B1 and B2 visas issued from 2016 through 2026 to people who have sought or are seeking asylum, according to officials and department documents. The cancellations would not automatically lead to immediate deportation, and pending asylum cases could be recategorized.
