Trump administration revokes 4K visas for students with criminal records for assault, robbery: ‘Breaking the law with no consequences’ ​
2025-04-30
[NYPost] The Trump administration has revoked the visas of 4,000 foreign students in its first 100 days — the bulk of which have committed crimes in the US including arson, assault and robbery, The Post has learned.

More than 90% of the rogue students who saw their visas nixed had committed crimes such as arson, wildlife and human trafficking, child endangerment, domestic abuse, DUI and robbery, a senior State Department source told The Post Monday.

More than 500 of them had assault raps.

"They came and they were breaking the law with no consequences," said the source.

"We set up a special action team to handle this."

The State Department worked with the Department of Homeland Security, which tapped into their databases and compared that information with existing law enforcement records.

Officials only considered "serious" cases as part of the effort.

"There were cases like where it was not a serious thing, like littering, or somebody had charges that were dropped, where we didn’t revoke those. Because it should be a serious matter," said the source.

The thousands of students, most of whom hail from Asia and the Middle East, were swiftly notified that the State Department had stripped them of their status in the US.

Some have already departed on their own while others will soon be rounded up by immigration agents as part of Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
