The administration of US President Donald Trump has announced that it plans to cancel the non-immigrant visas of up to 200,000 foreign citizens who have applied for asylum in the United States or whose asylum cases are pending.
Under this plan, people who entered the United States on nonimmigrant visas and then applied for asylum may face the cancellation of their visas, a move that would leave the immigration status of a large number of asylum seekers uncertain.
This decision is part of the Trump administration’s strict immigration and asylum policies and has raised concerns among immigrants and refugee rights organizations.
However, further details about the timing of this plan’s implementation and the final fate of the asylum cases of those covered by it have not yet been clarified.
