US State Department revokes 6,000 student visas

 

The State Department has revoked more than 6,000 international student visas because of violations of US law and overstays, the department told the BBC.

 

The agency said the "vast majority" of the violations were assault, driving under the influence (DUI), burglary and "support for terrorism".

 

The move comes as the Trump administration continues its crackdown on immigration and international students.

 

While the State Department did not specify what they meant by "support for terrorism", the Trump administration has targeted some students who have protested in support of Palestine, arguing they had expressed antisemitic behaviour.
