Why has the US revoked 6,000 student visas?

The US has revoked over 6,000 student visas this year, citing law violations, terrorism-related activity, and stricter vetting measures under the Trump administration. While officials defend the policy as necessary for national security, universities warn of steep enrolment drops, billions in economic losses, and long-term risks to America’s academic competitiveness

A student visa permits those outside the US to study in the country for a set amount of time at an academic institution. It differs from a green card, which allows an individual already in the US who is not an American citizen to remain in the country. Representational Image
